District 7 is all that Monterey as a winegrowing region has to offer. The number refers to our official regional designation within the state of California, but District 7 is much more than just a prime number. Most experts recognize Monterey County as one of the most beautiful and diverse winegrowing regions in the world with complex soils and coastal weather patterns. Our winemaking team reaps the benefits of the exceptional fruit we produce, creating wines that are fruit forward, true to varietal character and a delicious reflection of Monterey.
Our Sauvignon Blanc comes from five of our estate vineyards, some located in the northern part of Monterey County and some located about 25 miles further south. Sauvignon Blanc is ultra-sensitive to climate and grapes from vineyards that are just a few miles apart can impart very different taste characteristics. The brisk and windy conditions to the north bring out the
grassy and herbal traits of this varietal, while the warmer, sunshine-drenched environment further south brings out the fruity melon flavors.
A lively array of tropical fruit, citrus and white peach flavors glide across the palate. This is a vibrant wine that finishes with a refreshing, crisp acidity. Our District 7 Sauvignon Blanc makes a lovely apéritif or is the perfect accompaniment to simple seafood, herbal-prepared
white meat dishes, and spicy cuisines.
