J.Lohr
Sauvignon Blanc, Carol's Vineyard 2009
 |
| |
 |
Two years ago, J. Lohr began the
Touching Lives program in memory of
Carol Waldorf Lohr, late wife of founder
Jerry Lohr. This past year, they set out
to provide 500 mammograms for women in
need by donating $2 from every bottle
sold of their J. Lohr Carol’s Vineyard
Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon
to the National Breast Cancer
Foundation. With more than 2,000
mammograms funded to date, they have
long surpassed their goal! J. Lohr
Carol’s Vineyard 2009 Sauvignon Blanc is
a pale, youthful straw yellow color with
a complex aroma of grapefruit, dried
flowers, gun flint and faint herbaceous
freshness. On the palate, the wine has
excellent weight and bright acidity with
clean fruit flavors reminiscent of the
aromas. |

Sauvignon Blanc, 2010
 |
| |
 |
The 2010 Cliff Lede Sauvignon Blanc
displays aromas of Kaffir lime, iris,
passion fruit, tarragon, citrus, white
pepper, framboise, toasted almond, and
freesia. With a poignant mouth defined
by good glycerol weight, flavors of
lemon meringue, honeysuckle, brioche and
guava flow over the palate with a finish
reminiscent of desert wildflowers and
dry land honey. |

Perched high upon Napa's elusive Howell
Mountain, among a dramatic hillside of
Manzanita trees is CADE Winery, the
latest addition to the PlumpJack family.
The unique, state-of-the-art, LEED
certified facility producing an
exquisite Estate Cabernet as well as an
enticing Sauvignon Blanc and a rich
Cabernet Sauvignon from local artisanal
grapes. Just released a short time ago
is their wonderful 2008 Sauvignon Blanc!
Enticing aromas of green melon, wet
stones, cantaloupe, cut grass and
vanilla bean are followed on the palate
with flavors of guava, rose petal,
gooseberry and vanilla. The 7% Semillon
fleshes out the mid palate and adds a
nice layer to the finish. Delicious and
refreshing on a summer day! |
