Straw-colored, bright and focused, this Sauvignon Blanc has very nice aromas of citrus, stone fruits and hay. Light-bodied, fresh and with nicely integrated alcohol (13.8%), it offers flavors which mirror the nose. Those same flavors hold on nicely throughout the middle palate and medium-length finish. Well-priced and varietally correct, this wine will have broad appeal for those who are fond of the grape. Drink now-2015.

This is by no means your typical Sauvignon Blanc. Only slightly grassy, the flavor profile is more fruit prominent than usual. The color is light golden. I suspect there are small amounts of other white varietals, possibly viognier or moscato, as the viscosity is is quite heavy for a Sauvignon Blanc. The nose is nectarine and guava in minerals. The fruit is Mango, guava, nectarine and passion fruit. Some gritty minerality with nice fortifying acidity. The finish is that of a very young wine, slightly oily, nectarine skins and peach.

Light, refreshing, low acidity that is perfect for a warm day. Paired very well with a lemon pasta.
