Wine Review: This very pale straw-colored Sauvignon Blanc opens with a gooseberry and lime bouquet with hints of asparagus. On the palate, this wine is light plus bodied with medium acidity. The flavor profile is a chalky minerality, ginger and gooseberry blend with notes of honeydew melon and lemon verbena. I also detected a hint of juniper in the aftertaste. The finish is dry, and its flavors and acidity stick around for quite some time. This Sauvignon Blanc would pair well with grilled swordfish skewers. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: In expressing the Dry Creek Valley’s unique terroir, this beautiful wine displays bright, fruit-forward aromas and a full-bodied mouthfeel. At first swirl, this Sauvignon Blanc presents tropical aromas of passionfruit, pineapple, and melon with nuances of peach and jasmine. On the palate, flavors of guava, Meyer lemon and cucumber come through with a slightly creamy, but lively finish. Stainless steel fermentation was supplemented with small amounts of acacia, French oak, and chestnut barrels, adding additional character and nuance to this delicious wine.
