Lucas & Lewellen Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc |
2005 Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc Los Alamos
In exceptional years, when conditions are just right for the growth of botrytis (the "noble rot"), Louis allows carefully selected Sauvignon Blanc grapes to mature to a high level of deliciously concentrated flavor. Grapes for this wine were hand harvested at 35 degrees brix, cold fermented, and allowed to stop fermenting naturally at 14% residual sugar. Full of ripe honey, peach, nectarine, orange blossom and pineapple fruit aromas and flavors, this wine is ready to enjoy by itself, or with a wide choice of desserts. Score of "92" at Red Wine Buzz. |
