Description
Life from Stone Sauvignon Blanc is made from rocky soils in the Napa Valley. The vineyard has to battle against nature to produce a wine with a flinty, mineral character. Monumental human effort was required to plant the vines, and in some cases dynamite was used. The wine is true to the site's terroir and will drink well now or can be enjoyed in the next 2-3 years. The grapes have no flavor that they impart on the wine, it is simply the result of less soil. If there is less soil, the vine produces more concentrated fruit. Life from Stone has the good fortune to have all these concentrating factors in its favor- old vines, high density planting, and a nearby plant that limits growth.
Springfield Life from Stone derives its name from the incredibly rocky soils in which it is grown. Every year the vineyard battles against nature in order to produce highly concentrated, powerful wines with a flinty, mineral character true to the quartz rock in which it is grown. Monumental human effort was required to plant the vines implements destroyed, and, in the case of the older vineyards, dynamite deployed.
A true expression of the sites terroir, this wine will drink well now, or can be enjoyed in the next 2-3 years.
Stones have no flavour that they impart on wine - they simply make the soil less. If there is less soil the vine produces more concentrated fruit, the same happens with old vines, also when vines are planted in high density. As the rock opposes the vine so does a nearby plant; and age limit growth and crop. Life from Stone has the good fortune to have all these 3 concentrating factors in its favor thus the unmatched complexity of a great wine.
