From one of Clyde's old friends, and from certified organic vineyards in the Redwood Valley AVA of Mendocino County, the Kalinda Sauvignon Blanc is an intense expression of terroir. Grown in the rocky benchlands of Mendocino County with southwest exposure, the Chance Creek vineyard site, originally planted to Palomino grapes used in the production of California sherry, was purchased by Lou Bock in 1979. He soon replanted the vineyard to Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier and Sangiovese. Today the mature vines produce incredible fruit and Lou enjoys making wines from this unique terroir. His Sauvignon Blanc is certainly one of the best we’ve tasted from Mendocino and combines all the elements that you’d wish for in any top-notch representation of the grape. It’s an ideal pairing to seafood and also a great apéritif wine.
