Ondine Chattan Cannonball Eleven Dry Creek Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2018
About the wine
Zippy, limited-edition Sauvignon Blanc from a top Sonoma winemaker
- Vibrant tropical flavors, like guava, pineapple and passion fruit, gush with every lively and crisp mouthful of this Sauvignon Blanc, leading to a long, refreshing finish.
- Dry Creek Valley is one of Sonoma's best-kept secret spots for top-notch Sauvignon Blanc, and winemaker Ondine Chattan’s deep connections in the region got her the special scoop to source this scintillating Sauv from a pair of Dry Creek’s best vineyards.
- This delightfully bright and fresh Sauvignon Blanc is the perfect easy-sipper for spring and summer – what’s more, it’s a one-time exclusive creation from a Sonoma icon. This may be your one and only chance to bring home Ondine’s Dry Creek Sauvignon Blanc – don’t miss it!
Best before
This wine is drinking beautifully right now. There is no need or reward for extended cellaring. A little bit of time in the bottle has developed a lovely bottle bouquet and this is ready for immediate enjoyment.
Serving advice
Serve this wine chilled but not too cold. Pulling it out of the cooler about 15 minutes before serving will give the wine a chance to warm up a bit and reveal the array of melon and tropical fruit that the Dry Creek Valley imbues in its grapes. There's no need to let it air out and breathe, but serving too cold will disguise some of the character.
Food match
Edamame dumplings with a touch of sesame oil and sea salt make for a beautiful pairing. I enjoy 'ripe' green flavors with Sauvignon Blanc, as they tend to meld with the inherent fresh notes of the grape and play well off the more tropical characters. Other great pairings include crab and oysters (small and sweet like Kumamoto) or pea shoot salad with shaved ginger.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Ondine Chattan
Unmistakably one of the North Coast’s top winemaking talents, Ondine Chattan’s worked for wine institutions – famed wineries like Ridge Vineyards, Cline Cellars, and spent decades running famed Healdsburg winery Geyser Peak.
Does Geyser Peak sound familiar? It should – it’s the long-time winemaking home of one legendary Daryl Groom – and it’s where these decades-long colleagues and friends met. They’re still close… in fact, they might collaborate on exclusive wines now and again.*wink.*
Ondine is awestruck by the wine community Angels have built – and she wants to help it grow. “I truly connect to people through the wines I make,” she said. “The stories of the growers, the vineyards, and the process behind the wine are as vital to me as grapes.”
