The 2011 Sauvignon Blanc Les Pionniers is all texture and grace. A rich, layered Sauvignon, the 2011 Pionniers impresses for its balance and overall harmony. Nothing is out of place in this beautifully crafted wine. Lemon zest, white flowers, chalk, and white peaches linger on the round, caressing finish.

The 2011 Sauvignon Blanc Les Pionniers is all texture and grace. A rich, layered Sauvignon, the 2011 Pionniers impresses for its balance and overall harmony. Nothing is out of place in this beautifully crafted wine. Lemon zest, white flowers, chalk, and white peaches linger on the round, caressing finish. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2016. I tasted a wide range of wines from Capture this year. In my view, the whites are stronger than the reds. Tel. (707) 395-0457
Inviting aromas of citrus peel, Asian pear, aromatic herbs and white flowers. Supple, ripe and complex, with an umami-like texture to the flavors of floral and citrus oils, spices and saline minerality. Finishes very subtle and very long. All aromatic esters today: very interesting wine.
