Kendall-Jackson Sauvignon Blanc California Vintner's Reserve 2011

'Lime, melon and Anjou pears intermingle with sweet and tropical fruits such as fig and kiwi to create this delightfully refreshing wine. Hints of grapefruit highlight the mineral qualities of this wine's surprisingly long finish.' - Randy Ullom, Winemaster

The 2011 Sauvignon Blanc Vintner’s Reserve is a tasty, straightforward wine with good varietal character and fine balance within its peer group. This pleasing, soft Sauvignon is an excellent choice for drinking over the next year or two. A dollop of other grapes, notably Semillon, adds complexity. Anticipated maturity: 2013–2015.

There’s a seemingly sweet edge to the lemon, lime and vanilla flavors, which are fortunately balanced with crisp acidity. Fans of richly styled white wines will like this bottling.
