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

2006 Ferrari Carano Fume Blanc Dry Creek California Wine - Honeydew melon and fresh herb aromas and flavors are evident in thislight-bodied white wine. Our Fumé Blanc is stylistically treated in the chardonnay style. The crisp, lingering finish shows subtle oak character blended with classic herbal, earthy Sauvignon Blanc characteristics. 91 Points from Wine Spectator.

Straightforward, easy food pairing. Great summer white. Love this with a cold sandwich on a wheat bread and there is the obvious salad and delicate seafood combo.

Wine Tasting NotesOur Fume Blanc's quintessential varietal character has made it a benchmark Sauvignon Blanc in California and a flagship at the winery. This vintage exhibits aromas of citrus, grapefruit, melon and lemongrass. On the palate, vibrant flavors of lemon-lime and citrus follow suit with the addition of gooseberry and a touch of minerality. The balanced, crisp acidity cleanses the palate and invites an array of foods, including goat cheese, seafood and fresh oysters.

Fragrant, with zingy acidity that frames the grapefruit, lemon-lime, guava, peach and nectarine flavors. Has good intensity and a persistent finish. Drink now.
