Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvignon Blanc Wine Details
Price: $15.00 per bottle

Description: Our estate vineyard of Sauvignon Blanc from the new Oak Knoll appellation, near Yountville exemplifies our conviction that balanced vineyards produce balanced wines. Commitment to balance follows the fruit from the vineyard into the winery. Whole cluster pressing to maximize fruit flavors, combination of stainless steel and barrel fermentations along with Sur lie aging increase the mouth fullness/richness while preserving the fruit and acidity. This wine offers aromas of grapefruit, pear, pear blossom, melon, and lemon rind. Flavors of fresh lemons and grapefruit combine with a fresh, bright acidity and a lingering finish. This wine is a perfect match for summer salads, feta or goat cheese, and Spanish tapas.
