Wine Review: This light straw colored Sauvignon Blanc from Napa opens with a mild grapefruit bouquet with a hint of melon, butter and oak. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, acidic, and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a grapefruit, butterscotch, and vanilla oak blend with hints of almond and pear. The finish is dry and its flavors linger slightly. This offering is ideal for readers who enjoy an oak influenced style of Sauvignon Blanc. The panel suggested pairing it with a roasted Cornish game hen. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: The 2012 Ma(i)sonry Napa Valley Hudson Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc, considered by Winemaker Aaron Pott to be his best thus far, offers bright aromas of tropical fruit and crisp lemon with a hint of vanilla. The palate provides great balance between a zesty, bright acidity and a lush, creamy texture. Cascading notes of melon and honeysuckle carry on to a lengthy, dry finish. This wine is crafted to drink immediately upon chilling
