Item Description
Grassini Family Vineyards Tasting for Four and two bottles of Happy Canyon Sauvignon Blanc 2013.
2013 Happy Canyon
Our 2013 Estate Sauvignon Blanc truly exemplifies a Happy Canyon Sauvignon Blanc. Tropical aromas of fresh-squeezed key lime and lychee greet the nose. These citrus and tropical notes follow through on their promise on the palate, and are immediately accompanied by stone fruit flavors such as apricot and nectarine. This wine is well-balanced in acidity and fruit, with great structure. The long finish and mineral undertones pay homage to its Happy Canyon heritage.
Only 504 cases produced.

The Grassini Family winery is as singular as the wines crafted inside. Borrowed and adapted from 17th century southern European approaches, the winery itself is embedded in a prominent hillside with the rear opening into spectacular wine caves. (The Romans stored their wine in catacombs, while the French used abandoned creyeres from which limestone had been excavated.) The caves ensure humidity and temperature control, while using a fraction of hydrocarbon or electrical energy sources.
All the wood in the winery is reclaimed antique fir, having been milled from timbers discovered recently in the Columbia River. The timbers were used in the late 1800s to move materials downriver to lumberjack camps. These same reclaimed timbers were used to build the handcrafted bar in our tasting room in the Wine Collection of El Paseo in the historic Presidio Neighborhood of downtown Santa Barbara.
The entire winery and vineyard is solar powered and the water used for irrigation is from the estate’s well-fed lake. Additionally, all water used in the wine production process is reclaimed and used to irrigate all of the landscaping surrounding the winery.
With a constant eye towards sustainability, both history and the future will be served.
