GENIUS WINES Sauvignon Blanc, Ritchie Vineyard 'Requiem' 2012

The Sauvignon Blanc for the 2012 'Requiem' was sourced from the Ritchie Vineyard in the Russian River Valley. It was whole-cluster pressed prior to being transferred to a combination of used and new French Oak barrels for fermentation, where is spent a total of 17 months in barrel. The wine itself deliverers pretty aromas and flavors of bosc pear, fresh lime, tropical, lychee, mineral and vanilla blossom. This broad-shouldered Sauvignon Blanc possesses a rich texture which is balanced with a nice touch of acidity. The finish displays lovely flavors of lime zest and tropical fruits that carry on. This is a remarkable wine from Peter Boyd along with Ryan and Meg Glaab that is absolutely delicious. (Best 2015-2020) - March, 2015 (JD)
