Wine Review: This almost clear colored Sauvignon Blanc opens with a mild gooseberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is light bodied, acidic and crisp. The flavor profile is mineral infused lime with hints of gooseberry and green apple. The finish is dry and its acidity and flavors linger. This wine is very refreshing and would be a perfect chilled beach option. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Tony Coltrin set out to maximize fruit expression in our Oberon Sauvignon Blanc from Napa Valley. "We used both cold tank fermentation and barrel fermentation to maximize the overall fruit expression. The cold-fermentation in tank helps us maintain the pureness of fruit and aromatics, and barrel fermentation adds a subtle creaminess and length."
