Description
Coquerel Family Wine Estate is a beautiful vineyard that was planted more than 50 years ago on St. George rootstock in Calistoga. The old vines thrive in this dry-farmed vineyard of deep clay soil. The vines are planted in rows seven by twelve feet, and each vine is head pruned to provide a shady canopy and a cooling microclimate around the clusters to protect them from burn during the hot Napa summer.
For Premiere Napa Valley, we selected a new barrel by Cooperage Tonnellerie Bel Air for our 2009 Sauvignon Blanc. The wood and toast combination for the aging of this lot was specifically selected to gently enhance and complement the best attributes of the Sauvignon Blanc. The wine has been aged sur lie with weekly stirring to develop roundness, palate, and texture; all to protect the lovely Sauvignon Blanc aroma developed in our vineyard.
