Wine Review: This wine opens with a forward grapefruit like bouquet. On the palate, this wine is round, packed with a forward grapefruit and lime flavors. It is clean and refreshing. This wine was very tasty. The finish is dry and lingers gently. This wine would pair perfectly with chicken cordon bleu. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Both rich and elegant, the lush floral aromas of honeysuckle and kaffir lime combine with a vibrant band of gooseberries and tropical fruit. The wine is lengthy, persistent, and an evolutionary leap in winemaking. Because of its exotic personality, try pairing our 2005 Estate Sauvignon Blanc with a Thai-influenced dish.
