Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvignon Blanc Wine Details
Price:

Description: The 2005 vintage offered all the components needed to make a stylish Sauvignon Blanc. Moderate daytime temperatures followed by cool nights were the norm throughout the months of fruit ripening, maintaining a fresh varietal signature. We always cherish the arrival of Indian Summer -- shorter, temperate days allowing us to stretch the time needed for optimal fruit maturity. The results of an outstanding growing season are in this year's offering, a sophisticated combination of Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Musque. Floral gardenia, candlewax, wet stone, succulent fig, and exotic lemongrass characterize the vintage. The finish is alive with a crisp minerality, yet it is also creamy and rich.
