We feel honored to be on the forefront of leading the cool climate Sauvignon Blanc charge here on the California coast. Our Stone Blossom joins old vine Clone 1 and ENTAV Clone 530 (a Loire Valley clone). A good chunk of the blend comes from a single block from my grandfather’s original 1973 Edna Valley plantings of which are now 50-year old vines. Located on the far western edge of the property, these vines were originally own rooted Gamay Noir that were grafted over to Sauvignon Blanc in the early 1980’s. The soils are made up of well drained Diablo clay soils with flecks of limestone and an underlying layer of residual material weathered from sandstone, shale, and mudstone. The Clone 530 portion comes from plantings on the far side of the property based on more iron and volcanic soils. Clone 530 is an earlier ripener, with much lower in pyrazines and brings a unique dimension to the wine. Crafted from old vines and a new clonal source, this extreme cool climate Sauvignon Blanc represents a promising outside the box SB expression from California.
Salty citrus fruit leads, followed by earthy green herbal notes that are rounded out by melon and peach. All of this is framed by mouthwatering minerality.
My goal in starting a wine collective is to hand pick a unique, fun variety of wines from all over the world. To entice people to step out of the norm and be open to experiencing varietals and bottles that you may never have heard of, never knowing what you were missing! For you to awaken your palate to the bounty and abundance of unique, stunning, sexy wines from all across the globe. I hope wine tasting becomes a passion for you as it is for me! Prepare to be awed!
