Wine Review: This brilliant yellow colored Sauvignon Blanc, from Monterey County in California shows aromas of pink grapefruit, nectarine, wet stone, and a hint of toasted nuts. On the palate, it is slightly creamy, fresh, and lively, with a medium body and integrated medium-plus acidity. I found it to be very approachable. There are flavors of green pear, nectarine, white tea, and saline with notes of passionfruit, chamomile, and pineapple. The finish is quite tropical and long. Serve chilled as an aperitif or with maki rolls. - Mark

Winemaker Notes: The 2024 Flume Crossing Sauvignon Blanc showcases aromas of honeysuckle, lime, ripe grapefruit, sweet herbs, and fig. The palate displays bright flavors of kiwi, key lime, and passionfruit, with a balanced texture and a long finish. Serve as an aperitif with goat cheese or oysters, enjoy as a pairing to sushi or ahi tuna.
