Matthews Cellars Sauvignon Blanc 2010, Washington

Winemaker's Notes:

This wine was fermented in our concrete eggs as well as stainless steel and a small amount was barrel fermented, although only about 10% of the barrel fermented made it into the final blend. We didn't fine the wine this year as we had no real need to, but we did sterile filter before bottling. This wine is much closer to the goal of a Sancerre styled wine so ideally I would wait 6-8 months before opening to allow the aromatics to develop. Consumed early it will show lots of pineapple and minerality but will develop deeper tropical fruits as well as lemon rind and key lime with a little more age. The palette with time will also allow the texture that this vineyard is known for, to balance well with the minerality.

This Columbia Valley Sauvignon Blanc is certainly a wine to be taken seriously.
