Tucked along the edge of Jahant Slough in the heart of the Jahant AVA, Jahant Woods 01 Vineyard enjoys a classic Mediterranean climate. Planted in 1997 on distinctive undulating terrain, our Musque Sauvignon Blanc is 102.48 acres of the total vineyard. As a mature vineyard, each vintage expresses increased concentration and flavors.
AVALocated in the center of the Lodi AVA, the Jahant AVA is geographically the smallest of Lodi’s seven AVAs – a total size of 28,000 acres, with roughly 9,000 acres planted to vineyard. It sits on highly dissected river terraces and old floodplain deposits. The classic Mediterranean climate has Delta fog influence, and receives cold air drainage and entrapment within our vineyards.
With nine months of sur lie aging in neutral oak, the Fume Blanc has achieved a perfect harmony of crisp citrus, aromatic floral, and light oak characteristics. Aromas of iris, ripe melon, and coconut come through and meld together as the wine sits in the glass. Upon first sip, you are hit with a wave of fresh acidity that tastes and feels like lemon popping candy. This mouthfeel almost immediately softens as the lees influence morphs these flavors into a lemon buttercream essence, continuing through to leave a delicate, refreshing finish
