Davis Estates Sauvignon Blanc 2019 (750ml) Contra Costa County

Davis Estates Sauvignon Blanc 2019 (750ml) Contra Costa CountyThis Sauvignon Blanc glistens with a light straw hue and brilliant clarity. The aromas of lime zest and tropical fruit are bright and vibrant. A soft rich mouthfeel opens up to a well balanced acidity that reveals subtle nuances of lime, grapefruit and pineapple. Its a vacation in a glass, paired perfectly with sunshine, the pool and good friends.

This wine is a blend of 65 % Cabernet Sauvignon 35% Merlot

The Backstory

this has good concentration and fruit sweetness right through to the back

Barrel Aged: 20 months in 80% new French oak

and very much with Cabernet fruits dominant even though they are 12% of the blend (it is rather that the Merlot on these limestone soils takes on a depth and seriousness that makes it almost Left Bank in feel)

75% from Napa and the remaining 2

try it with a wild rice and caramelized onion tart or a sharp aged cheddar

8 tons per acre

terraced vineyards

of grapes from several selected

this Nuthouse Pinot Noir is brooding with crunchy cassis and deep black raspberry notes
