2008 Sauvignon Blanc (Galleron Road Vineyard, Napa Valley)
The Damian Rae 2008 Sauvignon Blanc is loaded with phenomenal pear, fig, and Chinese gooseberry flavors. With fruit sourced entirely from the renowned Galleron Road Vineyard in the heart of Napa Valley, this wine is crisp, refreshing, and delicious. It's exuberant with cheese tortellini, fusilli carbonara, seared ahi tuna, fried goat cheese, and coconut curry chicken – or simply with fine cheese and crackers.

Vineyard - Galleron Road (Rutherford) As in Bordeaux, Sauvignon Blanc tends to do extremely well where Cabernet grows. And Rutherford produces some mighty fine Cabernet. Crisp citrus, grapefruit and lemon-lime combined with minerality and a hint of herbalness make this Sauvignon Blanc a fantastic wine.
Harvest and aging - The grapes were picked and processed on September 2, 2008; the wine was aged in stainless steel and bottled on February 19, 2009. |
