Wine Details
Price:
$35.00 per bottle
Description:
93 points, Wine & Spirits Magazine AND Year's Best. This wine has brilliant hues of pale yellow pierced by youthful streaks of green. Oppulent aromas of grapefruit, lemon rind and subtle caper are enveloped by a seductive background of toasted vanillin oak. Crisp flavors of grapefruit follow with key lime, a hint of orange marmalade and a roasted French oak background. This is a terrific SB with tremendous intensity of flavor, yet an elegant appeal. Enjoy!

Varietal Definition
Sauvignon Blanc:
Sauvignon Blanc is widely grown in California — at over 15,000 acres, it’s now the third most planted variety — and often assumes the moniker ‘Fume Blanc’. This popular synonym, credited to Napa’s Robert Mondavi, derives from the grape’s historic home of Pouilly in France’s Upper Loire Valley, where Sauvignon Blanc is the dominant varietal and goes locally by the name of ‘Blanc Fumé’. When treated with respect and afforded suitable growing conditions, Sauvignon Blanc is one of the wine world’s darlings. Steely, racy acidity, green, gooseberry fruit, asparagus and a grassy, herbaceous character characterize dry wines made from this grape.
