Compton Sauvignon Blanc

Compton Family Wines Sauvignon Blanc

WHY WE LOVE IT

  • The Compton Sauvignon Blanc is an outstanding example of this varietal’s nose of fresh herbs/citrus/sweet fruit and flowers, quite striking.
  • This Sauvignon Blanc is Organic fruit from Croft Vineyard in Monmouth, Oregon.

Varietal Composition: 100% Sauvignon Blanc

Elaboration: 60% stainless steel fermentation and 40% of the fruit was fermented in a concrete egg.

Tasting Notes: Sleek, smooth and succulent all at once, honeysuckle, stone fruit, citrus, and spice flavors are tinged with hints of jasmine and slate. Long finish lingers, clean and smooth.
