Series Fume Blanc

Reserve Series Fume Blanc Wine Details
Price: $13.99 per bottle

Description: A term first credited to Robert Mondavi in the seventies, "Fume Blanc" typically refers to a barrel aged Sauvignon Blanc. In order to reduce some of the herbaceousness of Sauvignon Blanc, barrel aging is used to soften the acidity and round out the grassiness with soft hints of cedar. This wine spent eight months on oak before achieving the richness which makes it one of our favorite dry whites.
