Schug Sauvignon Blanc Sonoma Coast 2021 750 ML

An aromatic nose of apricots, peaches and Mediterranean herbs. Medium-bodied and rather concentrated and flavorful. Zesty acidity keeps the palate bright throughout. Pleasantly tart.\n Producer Information\n Schug Carneros Estate is a winery in the celebrated AVA of Carneros in California. The winery is particularly noted for world-class Pinot Noir but also produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. The estate sits on the Sonoma side of Carneros, which also stretches into Napa Valley. It was founded by Walter Schug who, during his time as winemaker at Joseph Phelps Vineyards, was responsible for producing California's first notable Bordeaux blend, Insignia. He was also the first to have a wine scored 99 points by Robert Parker. The decision by Joseph Phelps Vineyards in 1980 to stop producing Pinot Noir drove Schug to start making it under his own label. By 1990, Schug had founded the Schug Carneros Estate and by 1992, he was producing his own estate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
