Wine Review: This almost clear colored Sauvignon Blanc from the Napa Valley opens with a light lemon-lime bouquet with a hint of wet stone. On the palate, this wine is light bodied, balanced and fresh. The flavor profile is a mineral infused lime with notes of white pepper. The finish is dry and its flavors linger and last for quite some time. I would pair this tasty Sauvignon Blanc with grilled mahi-mahi. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: With a pale gold hue, the 2015 vintage opens on the nose with the fresh, light scents of melon and white peach. A flintiness comes through on the palate—evoking the impression of a first summer rain—and an initial tartness carries throughout. Delicate flavors, along with the wine's minerality, build toward a lingering finish, crisp and dry and calling you back for another refreshing sip.
