Wine Review: This pale straw-colored Sauvignon Blanc opens with a lime zest and matchstick bouquet with hints of grapefruit and cucumber. On the palate, this wine is light bodied with medium acidity. The mouthfeel is gentle, round, and balanced. The flavor profile is mild pink grapefruit and lime blend with notes of stone fruit and thyme with hints of celery and jalapeno. The finish is off-dry and its acidity and flavors linger nicely. The Tasting Panel would pair this Sauvignon Blanc with prosciutto wrapped asparagus, grilled swordfish, or with a stuffed quahog. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: This crisp, zesty Sauvignon Blanc displays textbook aromas and flavors of green fig, gooseberry and lime. Grassy herbal notes are supported by elegant underpinnings of mineral and chalk.
