Amador Foothill Sauvignon Blanc

2010
06.15

Located in the picturesque foothills east of Sacramento with a spectacular view of the Sierras, Amador Foothill Winery produces three classic vineyard-designated Zinfandels and is among the pioneers of Sangiovese and Aglianico in California.

Winemakers Ben Zeitman and Katie Quinn

Owner-winemakers Katie Quinn and Ben Zeitman also produce Sauvignon Blanc, Late Harvest Semillon,  and an exciting Rhone-style blend called Katie’s Cote at this 5,000 case facility.

Tasting Notes:

Citrus, grapefruit and exotic spicy aromas lead to balanced flavors of citrus, melon, herbs and tropical fruit.

Part of the wine was barrel fermented and sur lie aged to add a rich, velvety texture and a lingering finish. Our 2007 Sauvignon Blanc is a blend of 76% Sauvignon Blanc with 24% Semillon.
