Stonestreet Upper Barn Sauvignon Blanc Alexander Mountain Estate 2000

Alexander Valley, Sonoma County, California, United StatesThe Upper Barn vineyard rises to 1,800' above sea level. With its shallow gravel soils and cool climate, the seven-acre vineyard tends to produce low yields of mineral streaked sauvignon blanc. The wine is barrel fermented but remains fairly crisp with plenty of citrus rind and lemon/grapefruit flavours. It's good but needs drinking. Less oak could really extend the life of this wine and freshen up the finish.Tasted: 19 January 2005Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
