Wine Review: This pale white gold colored Sauvignon Blanc opens with a fragrant gooseberry and grapefruit bouquet with hints of canned peas. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with integrated medium acidity. The mouthfeel is round, slightly viscous and fresh. The flavor profile is gooseberry and lime blend with notes of white peach pit. I also detected hints of quince and celery. The finish is dry, long, and quite refreshing. The Tasting Panel pair this Sauvignon Blanc with grilled swordfish. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Star bright in the glass with the color of pale straw, the wine exudes fruit aromas of Meyer lemon, key lime, apricot, and fig leaf. These are complimented by non-fruit notes of white flowers, jalapeno, gravel, and freshly watered grass. In the mouth the Fig Tree explodes with tart lemon, lime, and tangerine. High acidity is tempered with river rock minerality, white flowers and orange pith which changes to a fleshy, ripe tangerine on the finish.
