Sauvignon Blanc, Dry Creek Valley

Sauvignon Blanc, Dry Creek Valley Wine Details
Price: $14.00 per bottle

Description: The crisp fruit flavors and aromas of this Sauvignon Blanc are a result of careful winemaking. Part of the blend was fermented and aged five months in French oak (10% new); the remaining portion was fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks. Barrel fermentation delivers a round texture to the wine, and tank fermentation emphasizes its fruit and mineral qualities. Subtly complex, Handley's Dry Creek Sauvignon Blanc offers rich aromas of melon and mango, accented with grapefruit, lime, and a hint of jasmine. Clean flavors of gooseberry and citrus on the palate make it a food-pairing champion.
