Brothers Aaron & Jesse Inman have struck gold with their new release, Lucky Rock Wine Co. Sauvignon Blanc 2018.  Their winemaking philosophy, “that the sum of vineyards blended together can be greater than the parts alone”, is evidenced in this new release, a blend of 55% Lake and 45% Napa Counties.  Stainless steel and barrel fermented (50/50), then aged for over six months on the lees, the wine is a balanced beauty of fruit and body, thanks to the art of blending.  With notes of tropical fruit and grass on the nose, it’s at once crisp and clean on the palate, but with textured roundness on the mouthfeel.  Refreshing acidity, ripe in a juicy fashion, with a mouthwatering long finish, this Sauvignon Blanc brings all its charms to the glass for the value price of SRP $17!  I experienced it with a Tagliatelle with Crab pasta dish, what a fantastic pairing!  Excellent by the glass, or with seafood, soft cheeses, summer pastas, or whatever your imagination can concoct, Lucky Rock is found in select wine shops and restaurants within California, and online at luckyrockwineco.com.

Lucky Rock Wine Co. was founded in 2013 by the Inman brothers, whose love of wine inspired them to make wines that can be enjoyed everyday.  Prospecting for their own niche among California wines, these sons of gold miners have taken their “enjoying wine” sensibilities and translated them into two inaugural wines, the Lucky Rock County Cuvée Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc.  Wines that pair with the joy of life is their motto, more precisely “made with intention, not pretension”, easy drinking wines that reflect balance and California essence in the glass.
