2018 sauvignon blanc Umpqua Valley Scott and Kathy West farm these grapes at their Amaranth Vineyard 8 miles east of Oakland Oregon. Their site is in the shadow of Mount Scott and gets a cooling flow of air that is ideal for this variety. Their shallow soils keep the vine vigor in check producing small intense clusters. The fruit was whole cluster pressed, and after settling was fermented in a combination of old neutral French oak barrels and stainless steel. Our goal with this variety is to shoot for an Old World style, preserving the acidity and with a full, rich texture. The color is a light straw. The aromas lean towards green notes of fresh mown hay, herb notes of chamomile and lemon thyme, with compelling fruits of green apple, quince and yellow plum. The flavors carry on with all of this complex mix, with a sweet fruit entry and a tangy acid fullness. The mouthfeel is full of energy, without being cloying. The aftertaste persists very long and pleasantly. This wine pairs very well with goat cheese as an aperitif. We also enjoy fowl in any preparation or fresh fish and shellfish, raw, seared or grilled.
