Santa Ynez Valley
850 cases produced

An amalgamation of all of the top Santa Barbara County Sauvignon Blanc vineyards we work with: McGinley Vineyard (AKA Westerly Vineyard), Vogelzang Vineyard, Purisima Mountain Vineyard, and Grassini Vineyard.  By blending these diverse vineyards we get bold expressions of Sauvignon Blanc's range of flavors in Santa Ynez Valley. The result is a wine with remarkable complexity, persistence, and length.  2007 was an exceptional year.  Many picks and ferments, judicious use of skin contact, gave us a variety of lots from numerous clones to use in the blend.  Fermenting in our 45 degree cold room using an array of variable capacity stainless steel tanks, one stunning Hermitage barrel, and a few neutral oak barrels we frequently "battonaged" letting the wine settle only to bottle. SYBARITE completes my triumvirate of named assemblages joining M5 and ÜBER.  SYBARITE (SIB-a-rite) is derived from Greek Sybarites, from Sybaris, an ancient Greek city noted for the luxurious, pleasure-seeking habits of many of its inhabitants.
