WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
A vivid straw-green in color, the 2015 Sauvignon Blanc greets the senses with crisp apple and ripe pear aromas with hints of freshly toasted almond. In the mouth, the wine exhibits bright fruit flavors of lime, pear, lemongrass and spice that echo the aromas. Refreshingly dry and medium-bodied with a rich crisp acidity, wrapped around a mineral core.

The first of the vintage to be tasted from the region, this bottling is a promising sign. Fresh-cut green apples, Anjou pear skins, honeydew, bubblegum, wet stone and whiffs of cut grass show on the nose. There’s lots of verve to the palate, with white pepper, apple skin and slight jalapeño flavors. It’s perfect for shellfish and salads.
