The Whale
In Stock
Olas was grown in a small vineyard in the southwest corner of the Sonoma Valley. Farmed by our friend William Hawley of Random Ridge, this 60% Sauvignon Blanc and 40% Semillon field blend is a rich and flavorful wine. A classic Bordeaux blend that will please now, yet develop nuance and complexity with age.

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Blending the bright flavors of Sauvignon Blanc with the weighty texture and structure of Semillon creates a deliciously rich wine with interest and depth. Intense aromas of fresh lemon zest and honeysuckle merge with hints of fine herbs and newly mowed grass. Momentary tartness on the entry is quickly replaced by a velvety smooth mouthfeel. A tightly integrated blend of Meyer lemon, key lime, Pomelo and pineapple is laced with savory herbs, whispers of white pepper and a touch of salinity. As the mouthwatering flavors expand, traces of creamy oak and lemon crème brûlée appear to finish this lovely wine.
Food Pairing Notes
The perfect wine to enjoy with oysters on the half shell, a sashimi platter, or grilled tarragon mustard chicken.
