Sauvignon, Wine Details
Price: $16.00 per bottle

Description: If there are two adjectives to describe this wine, they are “crisp” and “fresh”. The wine is a light blonde color with an inviting brilliance – a ray of sunshine in a glass. You can tell by looking at the wine that it will be racy and steely, and the nose is a further indication of that perception. There is a flinty minerality on the nose, with a hint of grapefruit and guava. Tasting the wine confirms the first impression – this is a bone-dry wine of medium weight and nicely balanced with a lively acidity. On the nose there is a strong hint of green tea jasmine and green coffee bean aromas. Intriguing flavors of tea tannin and herbal notes are present on the finish.
