CAPTURE

TRADITION
Sauvignon Blanc 2016
Mayacamas Mountains, California

This wine brings together Old World elegance and New World Flavor!

Captûre marries the notions of tradition and discovery, adapting classic Bordelais winemaking methods and customs to the rich history and frontier spirit of those who first farmed Sonoma County’s unknown mountains more than a century ago.


91 Points - The Wine Enthusiast

"Pea shoots and a faraway lawn provide a fresh inspiring of springtime in this stainless-steel fermented white that's lovely and fully expressive on the palate. Jasmine notes are joined by tastes of apricot and peach, while tropical breezes blow by."

90 Points - Antonio Gallani, Vinous

"The 2016 Sauvignon Blanc Tradition is intensely floral and aromatic, with tons of varietal character. The Tradition is aged in steel, but lees stirring adds striking texture throughout. Citrus peel, lime, sage and white flowers notes give the 2016 a decidedly exotic feel." 
 

Our Thoughts.........

 This wine is like sweet grass after a rain, aromatic, light
with a hint of honey. Aromas of citrus, flowers and fruity ripe strawberries lead to flavors of pear, peach, honeydew melon, green apple and lemon. A hint of sweetness and almond extends the clean, fresh finish!

A Bit about Capture........

The Captûre motto is 'classic Bordeaux winemaking in the rugged Mayacamas Mountains'. Established in 2008, Captûre is working in remote high-elevation vineyards in Sonoma, Napa, and Lake Counties. Captûre targets vineyards within Alexander Valley, Knights Valley, Spring Mountain District, and Lake County, all appellations at the untamed edges of mainstream wine regions, and ones that see more wildlife visitors than human ones. The flagship label is the Tradition Sauvignon Blanc, it’s stainless steel fermented and aged on its lees for ten months. The style is bright with citrus, lime pith and peach and just that hint of richness that comes from the California sun. The fruit is 76/24 Sonoma County/Lake County.
 
The winery, originally founded by Denis and May-Britt Malbec, who made wine at Chateau Latour in the 1990s, came under the ownership of Barbara Banke in 2014. Banke and her winemaking team continue to make Bordeaux- and Rhone-style wines from vineyards along the Mayacamas Mountains, north of Santa Rosa.
