It is bright and vigorous but with a fully ripe mouth feel. It is zippy and clean but with loads of fragrant pear aromas. In other words, the grapes can get ripe while still maintaining acid—a delicate balance sought by winemakers everywhere, but which can only be achieved naturally when microclimate and varietal are perfectly matched. - This wine shows magnificently, with its clean, mango-scented nose, bright and fruity (yet refined) mid-palate with a slightly tangy lingering finish. Crisp, light and refreshing. 100% Single Vineyard Source - MacLeod Family Vineyard in Kenwood, CA.

- These 20-year old vines stretch along the front 5 acres of the Hook & Ladder Estate Winery on Olivet Road.
- The marriage of flavors found in our white estate blend is a source of continuing entertainment for us. The vibrant floral Viognier component, the tropical fruits from our Sauvignon Blanc, or the classic green apple notes from our Mendocino Chardonnay. Therein lies the heart and soul of a well balanced blend, there is no preconceived notion of a particular flavor profile. Setting your senses free on an organoleptic scavenger hunt can be liberating.

Dry to taste and medium-bodied, tight and intense flavors of passion fruit are entwined with layers of herbs and minerals. The mouthfeel is rounded with fine textures and soft acidity, but showing good depth and density of fruit weight. The flavors are rich and pungent, revealing a lusciousness and juiciness, balanced and enlivened by lacy acidity on the finish.

- Exhibits the lively fruit aromas of sauvignon blanc - This variety is harvested early to maximize its potential in the Semillon blend. The fruit is destemmed into the press, in a similar fashion to the Moss Wood Semillon, drained and pressed and then settled in stainless steel tanks. It is then racked and fermented in stainless steel at 15°C. There is no lees stirring post-fermentation for the Sauvignon Blanc. It should retain its freshest, most lifted aromas of leaf, grass and lychee. The lively fruit aromas of sauvignon blanc – herbaceous and tropical notes like guava and loquat combine with Semillon apple and fig characters, to create a medium to full body wine with fresh acidity, soft tannins and a clean finish.
