2007 Eleanor of Aquitaine 

See our complete wine selection

A proprietors blend assembled from our very best barrels hand choosen after many blending trials. this vintage is a blend of half Semillon and half Sauvignon Blanc, a wine made in the classic tradition of the Graves style Bordeaux Blanc. Our special Queen of white wine is 100% barrel fermented in small French oak barrels to add great complexity. Some people say this is "the white wine for red wine drinkers."

Click here for an Organic Wine Review short video about our Eleanor of Aquitaine. It focuses on our 2006 vintage, yet nearly every statement made including "honeycomb lanolin richness" applies to this 2007 vintage.

We often hear comments that our Eleanor is one of the most interesting and complex Californian white wines. Complex, yet full of refreshing citrus, with notes of pink grapefruit to balance the richness and nuance of French oak. Lime zest and a keen mineral flavor linger in the finish. We don't have a big supply of this wine as the wild boar again got more than their fair share of Semillon. So this vintage will sell out quickly.

Winemaker's Notes

Selected vineyard lots are fermented in French oak and sur-lie aged for 10 months. The very best barrels are hand selected and final blend proportions are determined from an extensive tasting series, after many hours of work by the winemaking staff and the proprietors. This blend gains complexity as it ages, we recommend drinking this 2 to 5 years from the vintage date.
