Wine Review: This glimmering white gold colored wine was very well received by our mini tasting panel. It opens with a very attractive gooseberry like bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied and is very well balanced between its acidity and fruit. It is quite tasty and displays light lime and green apple flavors. The finish is dry, crisp, and refreshing. It also lingers quite some time for a Sauvignon Blanc. We felt this wine would pair perfectly with chicken picatta. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: 2007 was an excellent Sauvignon Blanc vintage. This compelling blend allures the senses with hints of citrus blossoms, lychee fruit and mango. Soft honey weaves its way through the sumptuous palate. Time in the cellar will allow even more richness and complexity to unfold. Pair this delightful wine with elegant raw oysters, a salad of blood oranges with yellow and red baby beets or giant prawns in Thai green curry sauce over rice noodles.
