Tofanelli Vineyard
2008 Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc
Every day a large mostly anonymous workforce of men and women labor hard in the vineyards and wineries of the Napa Valley. Most of them have left behind not only their country of origin but also their husbands, wives and children in order to make a better life and find a small piece of the American Dream. In an attempt to help them realize this dream we donate 100% of the profits from this wine to Puertas Abiertas, or Open Doors. Puertas Abiertas is a coalition formed by our dear friend Father Gordon Kalil which provides dental services, counseling and health screening for those in need without checking for Immigration status. We choose to use an image of Our Lady of Guadelupe for the label to further convey our deep respect for and recognition of the Latino heritage of our fellow farm workers. Your support is greatly appreciated.
Sourced from the Tofanelli Vineyard, the 2008 Sauvignon Blanc is blended with a small amount of Semillon. This is a classic Sauvignon Blanc with aromas of lemon rind, grass and peach. On the palate it has green apple, mango, pineapple, and finishes with lively crisp acidity.
Suggested retail price - $25
