Description:
This wine has aromas of vanilla, honey and peach. Expressive flavors of melon, fig and a hint of grapefruit are delicious. The mid palate is creamy and quite full-bodied with flavors of citrus and pineapple on the finish. This well crafted barrel fermented Sauvignon Blanc can be enjoyed by itself or with substantial seafood and poultry 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.
