2009 Yorkville Vineyard, Sauvignon Blanc, Randle Hill Vineyard, Yorkville Highlands, California

Organic since 1986, this Sauvignon Blanc is steal, even though it is not vinified in steel. Typically I prefer stainless steel fermented Sauvignon Blanc, but this barrel fermented beauty is quite pleasant. The oak comes off integrated and gives some nice body to the bright aromatics. No wonder that was the Gold Medal winner from the San Francisco International Wine Competition.
