Description:
Napa Cellars 2006 Sauvignon Blanc is ripe with the aromas of guava, banana and lime, layered with the fragrance of orange blossom. The palate is pure and clean with hints of minerality and pepper. This classic Sauvignon Blanc is a perfect companion to Herbed Chicken Breast tossed with Penne Pasta, Zucchini, Ricotta and Basil.

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.
