Wine Review: This translucent straw-colored Sauvignon Blanc from Davis Bynum opens with an inviting fruity citrus bouquet with lemon, tangerine, pineapple and light herbal notes. The medium bodied palate is smooth and crisp with mouthwatering balanced acidity. The flavor profile is lemon and melon blend with notes of light lime, grapefruit and lemongrass. The finish is pleasant and fades away nicely. I would recommend pairing this crowd-pleasing Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc with a creamy risotto. – Joe

Winemaker Notes: Our 2019 vintage opens with bright grapefruit and quince notes highlighted by lime and herbal tones in the background. The body is supple with vibrant acidity creating a unique contrast on the palate with sweet and tart flavors featured prominently. This wine finishes with bright citrus and a lingering lemon zest. Enjoy this wine alongside soft cheeses, pickled golden beet salad or fresh caught oysters on the half shell.
