Sauvignon Blanc Wine Ledgewood Creek Estate Grown Sauvignon Blanc 2005 is exclusively produced from Ledgewood Creek Estate grown fruit. It has the fragrance of orange blossom and delicate lemon grass flavors. It is bright, fresh and vibrant. The aroma picks up green apple and tart citrus on its leading edge and then fills the mouth with honey-like flavors which make for a nice, lingering finish. Sauvignon Blanc has been grown within the Estate since 2001. From its first vintage, the vineyards produced an exceptional grape and thus an exceptional wine. Ledgewood Creek employs site-specific trellising and canopy management in the vineyards. Shading is encouraged to develop varietal character within the vines of the modified lyre trellis system. This system allows a single vine to grow on two distinct vertical trellises. This maximizes the opportunity to take advantage of the vines natural tendencies to rapidly spread and results in highly concentrated fruit. The majority of the Sauvignon Blanc is tank fermented to highlight the grape's inherent aroma and fruit flavors. A small quantity was barrel fermented to increase mouth-feel. The wine was barrel aged in neutral oak barrels for three months prior to bottling. In 2005, the Ledgewood Creek winemaker found that this short time in oak barrels helped to extend the flavor while augmenting the fragrant character of the aroma. Finely balanced, this wine is an ideal accompaniment to shellfish, lemon chicken, Thai dishes and other Asian cuisine.

The Frisbie Family is dedicated to producing exceptional, Estate–Grown wines in the American Viticultural Area known as “Suisun Valley” located on the eastern Napa border. Long known for its commitment to the best vineyard practices, Ledgewood Creek Wines are crafted first and foremost in the vineyards, long before being placed in the artistic hands of their winemaker. The winery's beginnings date back to 1985 when Dean Frisbie bought a pear orchard in the little known Suisun Valley viticultural area. To honor the pioneering Peabody family and their long-standing farming history in the valley, they named the orchard Peabody Ranch. By 1989, vineyards had replaced the pear orchard and the original Peabody Ranch was soon incorporated into what is now Ledgewood Creek Winery & Vineyards. With Ledgewood Creek running along the property's northern edge and with Abernathy Road bordering it's eastern edge, the original Peabody Ranch vineyard proved so successful that the overall holdings grew to include over 350 acres planted with grapes. In the early part of 2001, a descision was made to start producing some wine that would be available for sale. The vineyards and winery remain family-owned and operated with patriarch Dean Frisbie as General Manager, son James sharing his time between wine sales and vineyard marketing, and son Tom working with the web-site while living at the winery, full-time. The Frisbies' philosophy has always been, "If it is broken, fix it…and if it is not, how can we improve upon it?" Those who grow the grapes at Ledgewood Creek work tirelessly to find the vineyard's best expression of fruit quality and continued vine balance. This means constant fine tuning of canopy management, fertilization schedules, irrigation techniques, and crop tonnages. Fruit at Ledgewood Creek is harvested by hand - the red grapes by day, and the whites at night. Night harvesting, while costly and time consuming, has proven the best method to control the quality of the fruit harvested.
