  “Making wine is living our dream.  Growing up with a family vineyard, avidly collecting wines for years, wine tasting in Bordeaux, and developing a curiosity about winemaking inspired us to create our own wine.  In 2008, we met Kian Tavakoli, former wine-maker at Clos du Val, who has helped us create small lots of premium Bordeaux style wines. Join us on our journey!” Jean and Larry Rowe

  A new world take on a Bordeaux Blanc — partially oaked Sauvignon Blanc mixed with a little Semillon.

  The wine has a brilliant pale straw color, lively nose of fresh melon, apricot, and subtle goose-berry notes.  It is refreshing on the palate where zesty citrus stars on the midpalate, giving way to more generouse, rounded layers of vanilla cream.  Age-worthy, it peaks in brusts of orange blossom and tangerine.  Enjoy now or cellar for up to 3-5 years

  Shooting Star Sauvignon Blanc 2018

  Add to cart

  $17.00

  Steele Wines sources the Shooting Star Sauvignon Blanc 2018 fruit from Dorn vineyards  in Kelseyville. The Dorn family has been farming since 1965 and Steele has produced their Sauvignon Blanc from their vineyards for 25 years.

  Winemaking for this varietal is straightforward. The grapes are picked early morning (before dawn), delivered in the coolest part of the morning, crushed and pressed off the skins. The juice is then settled for 24 hours and racked off the lees. The fermentation begins at a cool 50 degrees and finishes up about 3 weeks later. The stainless-steel fermentation and aging preserves the freshness of this wine.

  The Shooting Star Sauvignon Blanc 2018 shows off the great growing region of Lake County, aromas are of guava and citrus zest, with flavors of passionfruit, pineapple, and pink grapefruit. Pair this wine with marinated shrimp, grilled sea bass with asparagus and hollandaise, or a simple crostini of chevre and lemon zest.

  Longboard 2018 Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc

  Add to cart

  $21.00

  Longboard 2018 Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc is the twelth vintage of this classical varietal. Winemaker/Owner (and surfer) Oded Shaked started making this wine after he realized that when he went to lunch, that is the wine he reached out to most often to start a springtime or summer meal. The Russian River Valley grows Sauvignon Blanc that shows tropical fruit but retains enough minerality to keep the wine balanced and vibrant. The wine was minimally processed, with only a small fraction spending time in older (neutral) oak barrels, just enough to add a light layer of creaminess over the core of pear, lychee and citrus flavors. There is a slight floral (Honeysuckle) note in the wine too. This style of Sauvignon Blanc aims to layer the minerality we love in wines from Europe with the great fruit character we are blessed with in California. When released, the wine shows mainly tropical fruit character, balanced by a lively acidity. As it ages over the next few years, some honey and apple pie character will start developing and adding richness and depth to the wine.

  Paired with a fresh green salad with fennel shavings and succulent ruby grapefruit sectuibs or with your favorite fresh seafood (try sashimi or a spicy Thai dish), this wine has proved to be quite versatile in pairing with imaginative cuisine.
