Wine Review: This almost clear colored Sauvignon Blanc from Kendall Jackson opens with a mild yellow grapefruit bouquet with a hint of lime zest. On the palate, this wine is light to medium bodied, pleasantly acidic and juicy. The flavor profile is a nice citrus blend of gentle lemon, yellow grapefruit and lime. The finish is dry and refreshing. This Sauvignon Blanc is food friendly and would pair nicely with swordfish kabobs. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Luscious honeysuckle, ripe pear and fresh lemongrass intertwine in this medium-bodied Sauvignon Blanc. Hints of fresh tropical grapefruit complement the subtle mineral quality while added layers of fig and honeysuckle round out this crisp, aromatic wine.
