Beringer - Alluvium Blanc Knights Valley 1997 (750ml) San Diego County Incredibly richEd Sbragia and his winemaking partner, Laurie Hook, barrel fermented the individual lots of the two varietals in 60 percent new French oak and stirred the lees twice a month during the nine months of barrel aging. This created a round, lush mouthfeel in the wine and toasty, vanilla, nutty leesy oak aromas and flavors. The wines underwent malolactic fermentation to bring a creaminess that balances the crisp acidity in the Sauvignon Blanc and Smillon.
