This inaugural vintage of Fortress Sauvignon Blanc is a gorgeous expression of the season in the North Coast. The nose is an aromatic bouquet of white flowers that include orange blossom, freesia and honey-suckle and is complemented with elements of vibrant citrus. Flavors of bright stone fruit, lime leaf and mandarin are evident on the palate. The mouthfeel is bright, minerally and refreshing.
From the stronghold of California’s foggy and rugged North Coast, the mission of Fortress is to craft striking wines that capture the wild essence of the land. We believe great wines capture a sense of place and with every bottle of Fortress we hope to share the unbridled spirit of the North Coast AVA. This expressive red wine opens with aromas of espresso, blackberry, and baking spice. The supple palate has flavors of mocha, dark fruits, and vanilla. Rich tannins create a silky, lingering finish.
