Wine Review: This pale straw-colored Sauvignon Blanc from Paso Robles opens with a grapefruit rind and gooseberry bouquet with a hint of lime zest. On the palate, this wine is light bodied with plus acidity. The mouthfeel is bright, round, and zesty. The flavor profile is a slightly tart yellow grapefruit and passionfruit blend with notes of saline, quince, and white pepper. I also detected hints of nectarine pit. The finish is dry and refreshing. I would pair this Sauvignon Blanc with swordfish skewers. Enjoy- Ken

Winemaker Notes: An intensely aromatic and scintillating Sauvignon Blanc from one of the best vintages ever in Paso Robles. Scents of ripe pear, grapefruit, lemon and freshly cut grass meld seamlessly with suggestions of key lime zest, guava, melon, and tropical rain forest. The palate is lush, clean, and balanced with generous flavors of kiwi, quince, Granny Smith apple and passionfruit. Trailing accents of Crenshaw melon, lemongrass and nectarine flood the mouth with juicy elegance, while a clean, exuberant finish lingers with lovely nuances of white peach, green apple, and Asian pear.
