Chateau Ste. Michelle 2009 Horse Heaven Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc (Horse Heaven Hills)

Country: US / Horse Heaven Vineyard
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc Washington
Winery: Chateau Ste. Michelle / Horse Heaven Hills

In 2009 this single vineyard offering includes 11% Sémillon. It has wonderful texture, and a mix of light herbal flavors that run through a gamut from celery to lemongrass and up into tart citrus fruit. The acidity is generous but not searing; it penetrates but never overpowers. A quintessential food wine.
