2017 Clark Cloudon Sauvignon Blanc Wild Iris Napa

2017 teased its way right up to harvest. From perfect warm days and cool nights to heat spikes that kept us on our toes. Yet, Wild Iris, this early ripening Sauvignon Blanc escaped all the worst threats, including the October heat, wind and fires.

As its beautiful juice poured through the press, who would guess what was coming just a month away. With each glass of the ’17 Wild Iris we feel such gratitude. Please share a toast to the first responders and all who stepped up to help during the tragic Napa/Sonoma fires.

WINERY TASTING NOTES

The 2017 vintage will again dazzle you with brilliant hues of diamonds and gold as well as inviting aromas of pear, cassis, mango, honeysuckle and almond paste, topped off with hints of meringue and lemon pie.  With a fresh vibrancy these beautiful aromas develop on the palate in perfect balance with the acidity. The 2017 Wild Iris then leaves you with lingering honey and citrus.  Yum!
