Wine Review: This pale straw-colored Sauvignon Blanc opens with a faint lime bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, smooth and round for a Sauvignon Blanc. The flavor profile is a gentle lime with notes of minerality and lemon. The finish is dry and its drifts away nicely. I would pair this impressive Sauvignon Blanc with trout almandine. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: The 2018 Sauvignon Blanc possesses heady aromatics of white flower, honeysuckle and hints of ripe honeydew melon. Fresh and focused with bright minerality and lingering notes of Granny Smith apple, lime and candied lemon peel.
