Hailing from the legendary Boushey Vineyard in Washington's Yakima Valley, this Sauvignon Blanc is a testament to the collaborative genius of grower Dick Boushey and winemaker Ryan Crane. Boushey Vineyard, celebrated for its cooler microclimate and complex silt loam soils over basalt, yields fruit with remarkable natural acidity and mineral tension. Kerloo Cellars coaxes out these distinctive traits by utilizing low-intervention winemaking techniques, often fermenting and aging the wine in concrete eggs or neutral French oak. This method preserves the vibrant, citrusy core of the grape while imparting a beautifully textured, mineral-driven mouthfeel. The result is a sophisticated expression of Washington Sauvignon Blanc that balances Old World restraint with New World fruit purity.
