Wine Review: This rich yellow colored wine opens with a very refreshing grapefruit like bouquet. On the palate, this light bodied wine is round, a touch tart, creamy, and has full throttle pink grapefruit like flavors. This is a noticeably bold Sauvignon Blanc that would appeal to those who like this style from New Zealand. The finish is dry and lingers for a little while. I would pair this wine with swordfish with lemon. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Our 2005 Sauvignon Blanc is a brilliant expression of the soils and climate of the Spring Mountain Vineyard. Alive with aromas of lemon zest, melon and gooseberries, the wine’s crisp aromas belie its lush mouth-filling depth on the palate. The delicate aromatics of mountain grown Sauvignon Blanc, combined with cold room fermentation and sur lie batonnage has produced a wine of both stature and grace.
