2007 Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc
WINEMAKER'S NOTES
Simi Sauvignon Blanc is everything a wine made from this grape should be—filled with lively acidity
and crisp, clean fruit flavors. A small amount of Sémillon is blended in to help develop richness on
the palate.
The grapes for Simi’s Sauvignon Blanc represent the best of Sonoma County. The final blend is a
reflection of grapes from prestigious vineyards with climates vastly different from one another
throughout Sonoma County. Warmer climates produce fig and melon flavors and a silky texture.
Cooler climates contribute grass, lemon and mineral characteristics and a bright, zingy acid
component.
THE WINE
Appearance: Bright, light straw with a slight green cast.
Aroma: Lime zest, honey dew melon, fresh grass and green fig lifted by a hint of minerality.
Flavor: Citrusy blend of lemon, lime, mandarin and grapefruit, sweetened with green apple and fig layered with minerals and a crisp, clean finish.
