Chattan Groom Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2019
About the wine
Lush and lively Sauvignon Blanc from a bonafide Russian River Valley genius
- A fresh, fruity explosion of melon, passionfruit and tropical flavors burst from this brilliant, intense and undeniably scrumptious Sauvignon Blanc from the one and only Ondine.
- This is Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc at its finest, thanks to Ondine’s endless winemaking talents and your limitless support for her passion projects like this world-class white.
- Ondine spent nearly two decades learning everything there is to know about Russian River Valley Sauv Blanc. She even worked with your 8-time winemaker of the year Daryl Groom for a time. Now she’s put all her skills into bringing you this epic Sauv Blanc, hoping you'll sip it in style all summer long.
Best before
Sauvignon Blanc wines in general and this wine in particular will not benefit from extended aging. The bright fruit will show best over the first 18 months after bottling. The screwcap closure helps to retain the freshness, but extended aging
will not improve the wine.
Serving advice
This wine should be chilled to refrigerator temperature (about 40-42ºF). No aeration needed.
Food match
Ceviche is an excellent match for this Sauvignon Blanc. The tangy lime of the ceviche will pair nicely with the citrus notes in the wine and the wine's acidity will be complementary to the savory brine of the ceviche. Sweet scallop and shrimp with chile will really pop against the mineral and ripe green notes of the Sauvignon Blanc. I recommend a little heat in the ceviche (both from red and green chiles) to best match the abundant fruit and zesty
acidity of the wine.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Ondine Chattan
Unmistakably one of the North Coast’s top winemaking talents, Ondine Chattan’s worked for wine institutions – famed wineries like Ridge Vineyards, Cline Cellars, and spent decades running famed Healdsburg winery Geyser Peak.
Does Geyser Peak sound familiar? It should – it’s the long-time winemaking home of one legendary Daryl Groom – and it’s where these decades-long colleagues and friends met. They’re still close… in fact, they might collaborate on exclusive wines now and again.*wink.*
Ondine is awestruck by the wine community Angels have built – and she wants to help it grow. “I truly connect to people through the wines I make,” she said. “The stories of the growers, the vineyards, and the process behind the wine are as vital to me as grapes.”
