Ken's Wine Rating: Very Good (88)

Review date: June 11, 2010

Wine Review: This pale yellow colored Sauvignon Blanc opens with a mild passion fruit bouquet with a touch of lime. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied and balanced. The flavor profile is a mineral infused mild lime with a touch of green pear. The finish is dry and quite refreshing. This wine would be very good with bacon wrapped scallops. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Citrus, mango, kiwi, and lime aromas are complemented by flavors of vanilla, guava and grapefruit in Ferrari Carano's 2009 Fume Blanc. Cool, stainless steel tank fermentation gives this wine a crisp freshness while the subtle oak character from barrel aging adds great complexity and depth.
