2008 Meritage White

Harvest Notes: Harvested by hand from the Mt. Lincoln vineyards in September 2008; containing a brix content of 22.5^o at harvest. The Meritage White consists of 67% Sauvignon Blanc and 33% Semillon. Pressed and left to settle for 24 hours, then racked to 100% 2^nd year French oak barrels. Partially naturally fermented. Malolactic fermentation was started on 15% of the barrels in October 2008, and aged for 9 months on lees. We bottled 273 cases in September 2009. Alc is 13%, pH 3.40, TA 6.3g/Ltr, 0% RS.

Color: Golden yellow.

Nose:  Fresh citrus, lemon, grassy and honey aromas with a touch of vanilla character follows this very aromatic wine.

Palate: The wine has great complexity with all the components found on the nose with a silky, creamy, soft-textured mouth feel and a hint of butterscotch. Elegant structure with fresh acidity and an extended length. This is a full bodied wine.

Drink by: Now until 2015 if cellared correctly.

Pair with: This wine pairs well with good old-fashioned roast pork and applesauce; while also having the power to handle many spicy Asian dishes, tangy Thai salads, sweeter yellow curries with seafood; and particularly suited to the more refined elements of Indian cuisine. Make sure you serve the Meritage White cool at around 52-59^oF.
