Clos du Bois Sauvignon Blanc

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Bright citrus and a hint of sea-breeze freshness jump from the glass and make you want another sip. Clos du Bois Sauvignon Blanc is a United States white wine with ABV as 13.50% that delivers crisp grapefruit, green apple, lemongrass and a flinty minerality, balanced by brisk acidity and a clean, lingering finish. Typically handled with cool fermentation in stainless steel to preserve its energetic fruit character, this Sauvignon Blanc pairs especially well with Shellfish or Goat Cheese, where its zesty citrus and saline notes lift briny and tangy flavors.

Producer Information: Clos du Bois

Clos du Bois was established in Sonoma County in the 1970s by John Skinner and grew from a single Healdsburg winery into a prominent California producer focused on translating coastal and inland Sonoma terroir into approachable varietal wines; the house emphasizes site selection across Alexander Valley and Russian River pockets, careful fruit sourcing, controlled fermentations and oak management to showcase varietal character rather than heavy manipulation. Their production philosophy centers on blending estate parcels with selected vineyard lots to maintain consistency across appellation-driven bottlings, with attention to modern cellar techniques for whites and thoughtful maturation for reds. Beyond their core Chardonnay and Cabernet-driven labels they offer broader North Coast and Sonoma County ranges, limited-release single-vineyard and reserve bottlings, and a portfolio designed to serve both everyday retail channels and select restaurant lists.
