Varietal Birthplace Year
Sauvignon Blanc Not Available 2011
Sonoma County is best known for its superb Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, but the crisp, foggy climate also produces some of California's best and most stylish Sauvignon Blanc. This lively Sauvignon Blanc comes from the sustainably farmed O'Neel Vineyard near the town of Sebastapol in the Russian River Valley. It has bright aromas of grapefruit, Meyer lemon, grilled pineapple and lime zest, and juicy flavors of lychee, white grapefruit, lemongrass and passion fruit that finish crisp and clean.
Grapefruit, citrus, lime zest, passionfruit.
Longboard's founder and winemaker, Oded Shakked, grew up in Tel Aviv, Israel, and taught himself to surf on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. By the time he was in his 20s, Oded was earning a living making custom surfboards, and he regularly sought out bigger waves on Europe's Atlantic coast. In Portugal, he discovered wine. Eventually, his dual passions lured him to sunny California, where he studied winemaking at U.C. Davis and established Longboard Vineyards in laid-back Sonoma County, where he makes small batches of wine by hand from select vineyards.
This crisp, medium-bodied white is a perfect match for freshly shucked oysters, or medium-weight seafood dishes like halibut ceviche or grilled shrimp with a mango, cilantro and mint salsa. It's also great with panzanella, a Tuscan bread and tomato salad. If you want to stay away from seafood try, Michael’s Tacos with Chicken Taco Filling.
The Longboard team says balance, harmony and nature are prerequisites for great surfing and great wine.
