Description:
This crisp and refreshing Sauvignon Blanc has notes of sun-soaked fruit reminiscent of long summer days. The citrus and tropical flavors are delightfully complex yet the extended sur-lie ageing endows this quaffer with a pleasing palate impression. From start to finish, this textbook Napa Sauvignon Blanc generously displays its Oakville heritage. A completely delicious white that renders a mouthwatering smile with every sip!

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.
