Wine Details
Price:
$16.00 per bottle
Description:
Despite its light color, the wine has great body and intense hints of peach, and melon aromas; with some baked apple; big, ripe fruit and melon flavors; very good balance, and creamy, silky finish. A perfect match with sea food, fresh shell fish, chicken and most Asian dishes. Also pairs well with pork dishes.

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.
