Sauvignon Blanc

The grape originated in France, in the regions of Bordeaux and the Loire Valley. Plantings in California, Australia, Chile and South Africa are also extensive, and Sauvignon Blanc is steadily increasing in popularity as white wine drinkers seek alternatives to Chardonnay. The grape can also be found in Italy and Eastern Europe.

Food Pairing: Pairs well with any shellfish, grilled or marinated white meat fishes and sushi. Fresh summer salads and vinaigrettes with shaved cheese are a nice afternoon repast with Sauvignon Blanc. Excellent with Mexican cuisine.

"Tessa Lee" Sauvignon Blanc
Russian River Valley

The "Tessa Lee" juice was fermented with wild yeast in small stainless steel barrels. After the wine completed fermentation it was transferred, along with its lees, into neutral French oak barrels where it remained for approximately three months until bottling. This cuvee is named after Julianna Martinelli's daughter, Tessa Lee, who is the fifth generation of Martinelli women to have traditionally experienced the feel of a grape knife in hand during the heat of harvest season.

2007 Wild Iris Sauvignon Blanc

The 2007 Wild Iris Sauvignon Blanc has the seductive aromas of our previous SB’s with a wonderful balance of acidity. It is absolutely our best Sauvignon Blanc to date. Douglas Danielak, our new winemaker, did a beautiful job with this wine. ’07 Wild Iris is generous from its beautiful nose, to its fruit-filled, round, crisp mouth-feel to its amazingly long finish. The 2007 Wild Iris will stand up with the best of what the industry has to offer. It is a perfect white all year around, but especially in the upcoming spring and summer months.

2006 Chameleon Sauvignon Blanc North Coast
North Coast

Chameleon Cellars is changing colors and added our first white wine ever in 2006. The second version of the award-winning 2005 SB is every bit as good as its predecessor - maybe better !! Its lush fruit and lovely aromatics are totally in keeping with our philosophy that all wine should be redolent of the grape it represents and provide crisp and refreshing acidity of the palate.

This variety has long been prized for its ability to enhance a wide of variety of lighter foods, and our 2005 version is no exception. Grapes come from Mendocino, Lake and Sonoma Counties along with 7% Verdelho from Lodi. All stainless for fresh, clean highly aromatic wine with hints of mango and grapefruit will meld beautifully with a lightly grilled or sauteed snapper as well as a rosemary-infused roast chicken, goat cheese ravioli or coconut shrimp.

While absolutely perfect for immediate consumption, this pretty wine has both the depth of fruit and tangy acidity required for some further bottle age.

2006 Yosemite View Sauvignon Blanc
Sierra Foothills

Our Sauvignon Blanc is very exotic and very much in the 'California style.' Fresh and fruity, it exhibits typical grapefruit and herb characteristics at its core. But the overall impression is more like a fruit cocktail on steroids! The Pinot Gris gives this blend some high-toned tropical notes, as well as a distinct, Bartlett pear flavor. Bone dry but not overly tart it will pair beautifully with simply prepared seafood and chicken dishes, and especially those accompanied by a fruit chutney. DELICIOUS!

2006 Sauvignon Blanc
Santa Ynez Valley

As a grapevine, sauvignon blanc is pretty easy-going. It grows well without needing a lot of pampering and will produce a hearty yield if left to its own devices. But at Buttonwood, sauvignon blanc is nurtured, manicured and gardened to produce a carefully calculated crop of glorious golden clusters. Sauvignon Blanc is after all, Buttowood's signature wine and we rest our reputation on this time-honored grape. The 2006 Buttonwood Sauvignon Blanc is crisp, refreshing and focused. A pale straw color glistens in the glass and encourages a swirl that results in a somewhat exotic bouquet of kiwi, guava and lemon-lime jumping from the glass. On the palate, the wine is light and lively, with honeydew melon, lemon zest and a hint of fennel complemented by the creamy, round textural components from the semillon. The finish is lasting, sleek and citrusy.

We love Buttonwood Sauvignon Blanc with seafood- crab cakes, scallops, and almond encrusted halibut.

Winemaker’s Notes: Aromas of lemongrass and citrus are framed by delicate undertones of honeysuckle in this bright and refreshing wine. Flavors of Meyer lemon, grapefruit and honeydew melon give this wine a crisp and rounded flavor with a clean finish. The fresh acidity in the wine will hold up to many different cuisines, but this is also the perfect accompaniment to warm summer afternoons.
