Corvidae Wise Guy Sauvignon Blanc 2010

Sauvignon Blanc with a classic wry wink of bright acidity. The fruit is sourced from our own Outlook Vineyard in Yakima Valley where ancient alluvial soils yield striking mineral qualities and flavors of wet stone, peach pit and pear. Aromatics of fresh hay and a lean crisp finish make this Wise Guy a wise buy...

Pair this bright, refreshing wine with oysters on the half shell, sauteed scallops or a Spring green salad with Chèvre and a citrus vinaigrette. - the winery

"Corvidae" is named for the family of birds that includes crows and ravens. Crows have a long history in folklore and mythology. David was inspired to name the label Corvidae by the many crows that circle the sky over his winery in Yakima.

Each Corvidae wine is named with a particular fairy tale, fable, or legend in mind. "Rook" references the legendary luck associated with crows. "Lenore" is named for Edgar Allan Poe's poem "The Raven". "Fable" is inspired by the story of the fox and the crow and its moral- "Beware of Flatterers". "Mirth" refers to an old nursery rhyme about magpies. More wines in the series will be named for other references to crows in folklore.
