Spring Mountain Sauvignon Blanc

 

 Lighter dishes and appetizers pair well with a white wine. A crisp fruity Sauvignon Blanc, like one from Spring Mountain Vineyards is a must! 

 About Spring Mountain

Spring Mountain Vineyard is an 850 acre estate of forest and vineyard on the eastern slopes of Spring Mountain which rises behind the town of Saint Helena. Each small block and slope has a unique soil, exposure to the sun, and microclimate.  Each vineyard block produces a unique wine, giving the winemaker a wealth of choices. The goal of the vineyard is to produce exceptional wines that show the power and depth of the mountain fruit, yet through gentle winemaking, possess elegance as well as strength.
