| THE STORY | ||||||||
|
“Qualitatively, Snowden is an awakening giant, but as is the case with many Napa estates, production is limited (1,000 cases of The Ranch and 700 of the Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve). These cuvees are produced from one of Napa’s most privileged sites, 23 acres of beautiful hillside vineyards above the Auberge du Soleil, and adjacent to the Sloan and Hall properties. Proprietor Scott Snowden, working with his gifted daughter, Diane (who is married to Jeremy Seysses of Domaine Dujac), and consultant David Ramey, is pushing the pedal to the metal at Snowden.” - Wine Advocate

"The experience of tasting this luscious Sauvignon Blanc begins with a complex, mouthwatering aroma of golden delicious and honey crisp apples accented with creme brulee and sweet Meyer lemon. Sophisticated mineral notes appear as the wine opens. An underlayment of lychee fruit, ripe pineapple and white peach then follows. The rich palate is finely tuned, with an excellent, refreshing balance. If possible, allow some of this vintage to age in your cellar - patience will bring ample reward." Winemaker Notes

"Due to these so-called perfect growing conditions, the grapes ripened evenly. With the Sauvignon Blanc we were able to bring in grapes with high sugars while still maintaining acidity. This brought a lot of finesse and elegance to our Sauvignon Blanc which is known for its flavors of tropical fruit and minerality.” Winemaker Notes
