Sauvignon Blanc is generally unaoked allowing the fruit to shine and highlighting the delicacy of the grape.

Winemakers Notes

This is our seventh release of Sauvignon Blanc from Uboldi Vineyards in Kenwood, CA. As always, our goal is to preserve the fresh fruit quality while enhancing the mouth feel. To best ensure that this wine reaches your table this way, we utilize the Stelvin Screw Cap, the best closure available for aromatic white wines such as this. Not only is the bottle easy to open, but you are guaranteed quality in every bottle with no chance of oxidation or taint. The aromatics of this wine blend a broad spectrum from lemongrass, citrus, and green apples to apricot, melon, and tropical fruits. These fruit characters read more...are very present in the mouth, accompanying a very crisp finish with lingering tropical components.
