Description:
"This is a clean, crisp wine that is true to the traditional characteristics of the Sauvignon Blanc varietal. Aromas of apricots. peaches and key lime leap from the glass, with a hint of grass in the background. The mouthfeel is full, round and tangy. Strong flavors of apricot, kiwi, peach, lychee and lime are joined by young pineapple. A long splash of a finish. This wine has a strong, lean, natural acid structure that makes it a perfect match for either spicy food or rich seafood dishes." — Winemaker David Georges.

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.
