The grapes for the Dancing Crow Sauvignon Blanc sit at 1400 ft. elevation near the base of Mount Konocti on the western shore of Clear Lake in Northern Californias beautiful Lake County. The vineyards soil is a dark, dense, volcanic clay loam that retains water in springtime, but then cracks in the heat of July and August, decreasing vigor to 3-4 tons/acre. Yet, during the summer months the vines are able to recover from the heat and respirate in the evening due to coastal breezes pulled across the Mayacamas mountain range by the vast size of Clear Lake. This unique combination of elevation, energetic clay soil, and hot days & cool nights produces ideal conditions for a true expression of the Sauvignon Blanc varietal at 12.5% alcohol highlighting citrus & stone fruit flavors with bright, refreshing acidity.
