Description:
Last Year's vintage won the Bronze Medal, 2003 New Mexico Wine Competition. Wonderful grapefruit highlights herald this crisp dry wine. Smooth and refreshing with hints of citrus and spice, this wine was made from fruit allowed to "hang" past normal ripening time, creating fullness on the palate, with a touch of melon. Vibrant through the finish, this flavorful wine is an excellent accompaniment to fish, seafood, fruit and cheese.

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.
