 This fruit-forward wine has pleasing intensity with appealing grapefruit aromas and hints of green apple, thyme and gooseberry fruit. The wine has a wonderfully fruity presence on the palate from entry to the refreshingly crisp finish.

| Winemakers Notes: | The grapes for Two Angels come exclusively from the Shannon Ridge Ranch vineyards which boast extremely volcanic, red pumice stone terroir. Hugging the mountain rims along the east edge of the High Valley AVA at close to 2,200 feet, the area is reminiscent of the Rhone Valley's Crozes-Hermitage vineyards. From the top of the steep, north-facing slopes of the Sauvignon Blanc vines, there is a commanding view of California's largest natural lake, Clear Lake. While the vines bask in warm sunshine most of the day, the cooling westerly winds off the lake lower temperatures significantly, creating ideal growing conditions for Sauvignon Blanc. For the 2008 vintage, 100-percent of the grapes were whole cluster pressed. The picking of the two lots of grapes used in this wine was done 10 days apart to add to the complexity of the fruit in the finished wine. |
