Capture Tradition Sauvignon Blanc 2016

United StatesThe Captûre motto is 'classic Bordeaux winemaking in the rugged Mayacamas Mountains'. Established in 2008, Captûre is working in remote high-elevation vineyards in Sonoma, Napa, and Lake Counties. Captûre targets vineyards within Alexander Valley, Knights Valley, Spring Mountain District, and Lake County, all appellations at the untamed edges of mainstream wine regions, and ones that see more wildlife visitors than human ones. The flagship label is the Tradition Sauvignon Blanc, it’s stainless steel fermented and aged on its lees for ten months. The style is bright with citrus, lime pith and peach and just that hint of richness that comes from the California sun. The fruit is 76/24 Sonoma County/Lake County.Tasted: 13 April 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
