Wine Review: This pale straw colored Sauvignon Blanc from Starmont opens with a ripe yellow grapefruit bouquet with hints of lime and wet stone. On the palate, this wine is light bodied, slightly acidic and crisp. The flavor profile is a mild mineral infused yellow grapefruit with hints of lime and apricot. The finish is dry and refreshing. This Sauvignon Blanc would pair well with chicken florentine. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Pale straw yellow in color, the 2013 Starmont Sauvignon Blanc displays fresh aromas of grapefruit, melon and lime leaf. The bright entry leads to medium weight and nice acid through the palate with flavors of citrus, melon and fresh hay. The finish is lengthy and refreshing.
