Decomposed granite, some sand­ stone. Duplex soils common on more low-lying areas, with deeper soils on slopes. Characteristics St. Helena AVA Sauvignon Blanc, fresh and forward, passion fruit and lemon, crisp and fresh, not "grassy". Stags Leap District AVA Sauvignon Blanc: Round and ripe, yet retains excellent citrus and apple flavors. Napa Valley AVA Sauvignon Blanc flavors are more pear, lemon and lime rather than passion fruit and lime as found in Malborough "In western and eastern locations, it develops notes typical for the variety, including gooseberries, pas­ sion fruit, elderberries, and black currants. The wines can range from crispy and fresh to voluminous and intense." "Stellenbosch grows a lot of Sauvi­ gnon Blanc, and a lot of it goes into Western Cape blends. In general Stellenbosch Sauvignon Blanc is a bit rounder and more tropical in its fruit, which makes blend­ ing with grapes from a cooler area such as Walker Bay or other parts of the Cape South Coast common to heighten acidity and complexity."
