Star Meadows, Columbia Valley

Star Meadows, Columbia Valley Wine Details
Price: $25.00 per bottle

Description: Liquid summer…this classic white Bordeaux-style blend starts with a beautiful floral aroma and a medley of ripe peach, mineral and a hint of citrus. Rich and layered, this delicious wine is mouthwateringly fresh on the palate, with a long pretty finish. Serve lightly chilled on a warm summer day.

Varietal Definition
Mead:
Fermented beverage made with honey, water and yeast optionally with flavoring ingredients.
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.
