Description:
This vibrant Sauvignon Blanc boasts a mouthful of bright tropical fruits and ruby
grapefruit with similar aromatics. It is a nicely textured wine exhibiting mid-palate flavors of lychee and stone fruits that crescendo towards a clean, elegant finish. Enjoy on its own as a refreshing apéritif or as a complement to mixed green salads, goat cheese and fish marinated in fresh herbs.

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.
