Asbill Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2021

a Sauvignon Blanc from Lake CountyCA
$28 per bottle

Our 2021 steel-fermented Sauvignon Blanc shows crisp acidity and brightness with Meyer lemon, passionfruit, Rainier cherries and a hint of peach; these notes continue into the palate. It is well-balanced, and the palate is lighter than Bootleg SB. This wine was 100% machine harvested on August 19, 2021. It is made predominantly of grapes from blocks 1, 3 and 4 of Michael's Vineyard with addition of a few tons from block 2 (the rest of block 2 went to the Reserve Sauvignon Blanc). The juice was inoculated with two different yeasts. Block 2’s juice was given a yeast that brings out Terpenes for citrus notes. The other blocks were given a yeast to enhance the natural Thiols found in the grapes to bring out both citrus and tropical notes. 100% stainless steel tank-fermented, it was racked off the lees not long after fermentation. The wine was filtered before bottling. Pairs well with seafood, poultry, grilled vegetables, tacos, and salad. Alcohol 13.5%. Production 1,200 cases

Winery Picture

Six Sigma Winery

The land of Six Sigma Ranch was first settled in the mid-1800s by about two dozen families, most of them living on 160-acre tracts. Several of the original family names are still connected with Six Sigma Ranch land or neighboring ranches: Asbill Creek, Copsey Creek, Hutchinson’s Range, Jim Dollar Mountain, Kouns Flat, Schwiers’ Flat.

The recorded history of Six Sigma Ranch dates to 1859 when William Daniel Asbill Sr. and his family settled close to our present gate on Spruce Grove Road. The family was of English heritage and had traveled in covered wagons from their former home in Dade County, Missouri. Over the years, the Asbills bought land from other settlers, and Asbill Ranch grew to 800 acres. Today this land covers the western part of Six Sigma Ranch. Both Michael’s and Else’s Vineyards were planted on former Asbill land.
