Price:
$15.00 per bottle
Description:
This is an easy to drink Sauvignon Blanc. Slightly grassy, with a hint of lemon on the nose. It has a core of ripe nectarines and pink grapefruit flavors. The pale gold hue is pleasing to the eye making each glass as welcoming to look at as it is to drink.

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.
