Ledgewood Creek 2005 Estate Sauvignon Blanc

Wine Recommendation:
Ledgewood Creek Winery & Vineyards 2005 Sauvignon Blanc

Winemaker’s Tasting Notes:
Exclusively produced from our estate grown fruit, our 2005 Sauvignon Blanc is fragrant with orange blossom and delicate lemon grass flavors. It is bright, fresh and vibrant, picking up green apple and tart citrus on its leading edge and then filling the mouth with honey-like flavors that make for a nice, lingering finish. Finely balanced, this wine is an ideal accompaniment to shellfish, lemon chicken, Thai dishes and other Asian cuisine.

Vintage Notes:
Hailed as an exceptionally fine vintage in Northern California, the 2005 growing season was hallmarked with an ideal long, warm harvest period which allowed wine grapes to reach full maturity and develop full varietal character. Warm temperatures in February and March pushed the vines toward an early bud break. These warm months were followed by cool, rainy conditions which lasted through mid-June. This pattern was followed by an unusually cool summer with one spike of hot weather in August which accelerated grape maturity and flavor development. Ideal conditions in the Suisun Valley contributed to a huge crop for most varieties and fruit of outstanding quality.
