Awards and Reviews
2006 Sonoma County Harvest Fair - Bronze Medal
"Crinella 2004 Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc: The best
sauvignon blanc we have tasted in a long time. Notes of lemon, peach,
honeysuckle, and a crisp minerality combine with vibrant acidity; a
great match for shellfish." Picks of the Month,
Innovativewine.com
"This unparalleled wine is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc Clone #1 from cuttings originally taken from Chateau d' Yquem and Sauvignon Musque, which is extremely aromatic. The Russian River Valley is conducive to producing wines with good fruit, acidity, and finesse. This is an elegant wine, with aromas of citrus, peach, apple, and undertones of flowers and spice. In the mouth it is quite rich but strikes an excellent balance with the acidity and moves forward with interpretations of peach and fig, which then crescendos to an intense finish!" - Michael Brick,
