Ash Hollow Somanna 2005
|
|
BN#192758 |
Ash Hollow's premier white wine is Somanna, a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris. This third vintage of Somanna was vinified solely in stainless steel, allowing the incredible perfumes and aromas of the wines to show, while maintaining a lean mineral palate that provides for a nice long finish. The white wine grapes are sourced from outstanding vineyards in the Columbia Valley. The Pinot Gris is from the Minnick Farms and Upland Vineyards, and the Sauvignon Blanc is from the Airport Ranch and Evergreen Vineyards.
The aromas of Bosc pear and Fuji apple hit the nose first with hints of straw and cut grass soon to follow. The balance of the blend is especially pleasing in the nose as the more aromatic and floral Pinot Gris is tamed by the green grassiness of the Sauvignon Blanc. The mouth flavors are equally inviting with soft fruit, citrus, and honeydew drawing you in before a crisp minerality finish on the palate. This wine is meant to enjoy now; either on its own or complimenting dishes from standard light and seafood fare to spicy cuisine. The acidity of Somanna begs to cut through your favorite spicy dishes. Yum!
