Winemaker’s Notes

Many N. Americaners have little acquaintance with theearthy/floral white wines of Bordeaux, which run from theoften prosaic Entre-deux-Mers to the sublime vins de terroirof Pessac and Graves; these undersung wines have created thetemplate for our “Gravitas.”

Gravitas—a blend of Semillon,Sauvignon Blanc and Gewürztraminer—is something elseagain. The nose has the haunting perfume of magnolia flowersand scent of white peaches, with suggestions of ripe Bosc Pear,sweet green grass, exotic saffron, a touch of lavender honeyand Meyer lemon zest. But wait, there’s more: A bit ofbergamot orange blossom, jasmine, and key lime custard,quince and Madagascar vanilla. These aromas are echoed onthe palate adding a light, deft, fresh acidity, flinty mineralcharacter; a savory wine, perfect with all manner of seafoodand lighter entrées.

This wine pairs well with oysters, cassoulet, grilled veggies, cheese course.

Blend: 61% Semillon, 35% Sauvignon Blanc, 4% Gewürztraminer
