Wine Review: This pale straw-colored summer crowd pleaser opens with an inviting earthy and fruity bouquet with hints of lemongrass, grapefruit, and tangerine. The medium body is smooth and crisp with balanced acidity and minerality. The flavor profile is a citrus blend including lemon, grapefruit, and pineapple with Notes of light green apple, herbs and apricot. I also detected some hints of light green pepper. This balanced wine finishes dry, lingers, and fades away nicely. I would recommend serving this Italian Sauvignon Blanc on your deck or patio with a summertime favorite such as gazpacho or grilled curry shrimp skewers with cilantro yogurt dip. - Joe

Winemaker Notes: Straw yellow in color with light green tints. The aroma is rich and complex with notes of yellow bell pepper, tomato leaf, and sage. This wine is dry with great body and a long, aromatic finish. Pair with quiche, and vegetable dishes.
