Wine Details
Price:
$15.00 per bottle
Description:
Very appealing light and aromatic honeydew melon, green apple, and tropical fruit aromas are present in the nose of this wine. The fruit characteristics are duplicated in the mouth along with crisp acidity and herbal notes. The wine finishes with intriguingly subtle toasted oak flavor. A delicate and refreshing white, it will pair with nicely with shellfish, seafood, sharp cheeses, grilled chicken and fish, blue cheeses, and spicy-hot Thai dishes.

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.
