Watchful Maker 2018 Sauvignon Blanc Horse Heaven Hills, Washington

Description

This Sauvignon Blanc from the Horse Heaven Hills region in Washington is a beautiful expression of a still relatively unknown wine-growing area. The vineyards in the region benefit from two very distinct gifts from Mother Nature – dry and hot temperatures leveled out by strong winds pushed in from the west, and soils made up of sandy loam. Both of these elements force the vines to work harder to find nutrients for survival. The result of these natural gifts is highly concentrated fruit flavors and expressive aromatics in wines from the area. This wine is made in a classic Bordeaux style – crisp with high acidity. Citrus flavors and aromas pair with earthy and floral notes, making this far too easy drinking.
