What to Expect

Sauvignon Blanc is a refreshingly crisp white wine that offers citrus and tropical fruit flavors with very aromatic notes of green chilies, grass, herbs, asparagus and gooseberries commonly contributing to the bouquet. Sauvignon Blanc is generally unaoked allowing the fruit to shine and highlighting the delicacy of the grape.

Winemakers Notes

Here's a twist on the classic Sauvignon Blanc, with a grapefruit-passionfruit nose, but accompanied by just a touch of cream (yes cream, but not butter!). In the mouth, its crisp acidity is balanced by again an ever so slight touch of cream (and again, not buttery). Fermented in 3-4 year old near-neutral barrels to cut down on the sharp acidity and soften the texture, without adding the taste of oak to the wine.

Rating: 85/100 - As reviewed by AmericanWinery.com ...I left a bag of pineapple in my car during a hot summer day. This wine tastes EXACTLY like my car smelled after 7 hours of steeping hot pineapple. The nose is rotten banana peel, with a little pina colada action sneaking in there. The flavors develop past just tropical fruit with a touch of dill (?) ! A nice Sauvignon Blanc that will be perfect with food when served at the right temperature.

Rating: 93/100 - As reviewed by AmericanWinery.com The nose starts out toying with me - ripe banana peels with hints of pineapple and sprite (?). I love the tropical-ness it offers, not at all like most Sauvignon Blancs I've encountered. I think it's crisp citrus flavors and nice acidity would make it a great wine to pair with food. The texture and mouth feel is incredible and yet it finishes with the oddest bit of club soda. I think I like it! Quit monkeying around and try it out!
