WINE PROFILE

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 mouthfeel 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.
