Wine Notes
2017 The Lost Colony White Blend exudes an exotic fragrance of figs, pineapple, kumquat, coriander, and dried flowers. There is a juicy freshness to the fruit and a smooth, round feel to the palate. Melon, citrus, peach, and honeysuckle flavors crescendo with a touch of minerals, lending liveliness to the finish.
Stretching 22 miles in length, part of what makes Alexander Valley an intriguing appellation is the variety of soil compositions found here. Eastern hillsides feature red volcanic soil while the western hillsides are comprised of rocky clay loam. The valley floor is made up of alluvial gravel fans with patches of volcanic ash and sedimentary solids peppering the terrain. This incredible diversity allows a range of varietals to grow in Alexander Valley, including Sauvignon Blanc.
