Wine Review: This clear and brilliant pale straw colored Sauvignon Blanc from the Central Coast of California opens with a fragrant gooseberry and bell pepper bouquet with hints of passionfruit and green apple. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with plus acidity. The mouthfeel is round, bright, and zesty. The flavor profile is a tart grapefruit and white pepper blend with notes of lime zest and stony minerality. I also detected hints of asparagus and white peach. The finish is dry, and its refreshing flavors and acidity linger for a bit. This Sauvignon Blanc was used in and paired nicely with a lemon garlic shrimp and parmesan orzo dish with a white wine sauce. Enjoy - Ken
Winemaker Notes: Optimist is bright, uplifting, and made for moments worth celebrating. This Sauvignon Blanc pairs vibrant acidity with surprising depth, delivering a playful yet layered expression that feels fresh, open, and full of possibility.
