Wine Review: This white gold colored Sauvignon blanc from DAOU opens with a gentle lime and gooseberry bouquet with a hint of grapefruit. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium plus acidity. The flavor profile is a tart pink grapefruit and stony minerality with notes of lime zest along with hints of ginger. The finish is dry, and its flavors and acidity linger and last for quite some time. We would pair this Sauvignon Blanc with swordfish skewers. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: This rich and intriguing 2020 Sauvignon Blanc exemplifies why Paso Robles has emerged as a leading appellation for this classic Bordeaux variety. An enticing nose of gooseberry and lemongrass anticipates tempting notes of pineapple, kiwi, and grapefruit. Suggestions of lime zest, quince and acacia flower round the aroma profile. The palate is clean, lively, and elegant, exuding mouthwatering flavors of juicy pineapple, green apple, kiwi, and melon. Lingering notes of key lime, white peach, dragon fruit and citrus persist through a long and lovely finish.
