Nose of peach, melon and honeysuckle. Light body with medium acidity that will be overpowered by many foods. Good finish with pear/peach all the way through the palate.

A Personal Visit To The Ledson Tasting Room (Ledson Winery, Kenwood, CA.): This may be the best Sauvignon Blanc I have ever tasted. There are several reasons for that. First, it is dominated by fruit, on the nose and on the palate with layers of intense tropical fruit, enticed by a really nice white pear. Second, it almost completely avoids the grass and "eau de gato" aromas and flavors. Third it is completely balanced, not dominated by acid, or begging for food. Fourth, the finish is intense, long and fruity. The longer you hold it in your mouth, the more you pick out hints of pineapple, guava, even some light amounts of melon and honeysuckle. It held together as it warmed in the glass. To be honest I did not know Sauvignon Blanc could taste this complex. Awesome

A Sauvignon Blanc that stands all on its own, a beautiful bokeh of fresh citrus aroma and taste.
