Scholium Project Farina Vineyards Dulcissima Camilla Sauvignon Blanc
| Vintage: | 2013 |
|---|---|
| Description: | This was another fantastic year for Farina, the rocky, east-facing Sauvignon Blanc vineyard high up on Sonoma Mountain. The vineyard produced a third more fruit than it normally does-- and we were offered more rows by Joe Votek, who farms it. This allowed us to make the most Lsb that we have ever made-- and to make Camilla for the first time since 2007. For reasons that I can barely divine, this wine often takes a year to ferment; sometimes more. We bottled the dry barrels of the wine as Lsb in March, and have let the remaining barrels finish fermentation gently. They are now gradually reaching completion; the additional months in barrel and on the lees changes the character of the wine substantially: this wine is darker and less fresh than Lsb, more broad, less etched. I have studied the 2007 wines carefully; the bottles of Camilla age better than the fresher Lsb; in some ways, they take longer to show themselves. |
