Tasting Notes
Magnolia and verbena flowers open to lemon and grapefruit aromas with a hint of ginger and cardamom. Flavors of fresh nectarine are carried by a round, ample mouth feel which finishes with light citrus.
Ratings
Wine Enthusiast - September 2011 Buying Guide
91 points Shows the dryness, acidity and minerality that always mark this Sauvignon Blanc, which is from the vineyard directly behind the Oakville winery. The flavors are lean and elegant, suggesting citrus fruits and Asian pears, with a hint of tart, sour gooseberry. An elegant wine to drink as an appetizer. —S.H.
