Wine Review: This pale straw colored Sauvignon Blanc is a good value wine. It opens with a faint apple bouquet with a hint of green melon. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, slightly acidic and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a mild mineral infused tangerine and lime blend with hints of pineapple. The finish is dry and subtle. This is a nice every day Sauvignon Blanc that would be a good quaffer on a hot summer day. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Luscious honeysuckle, ripe pear and fresh lemongrass intertwine in this medium-bodied Sauvignon Blanc. Hints of fresh lime complements the subtle mineral quality while added layers of fig and honeysuckle round out this crisp, aromatic wine. — Randy Ullom, Winemaster
