Wine Review: This platinum colored Sauvignon Blanc from Gamble was the winner of our recent mini-blind tasting. It opens with a mild gooseberry bouquet with hints of grapefruit, lemon and fresh cut grass. On the palate, this wine is medium minus bodied and smooth with crisp acidity. The flavor profile is a lime and mild pink grapefruit blend with hints of quinine, caramel, minerality and nectarine pit. The finish is dry and pleasantly refreshing. The Panel suggested pairing this vivacious Sauvignon Blanc with chicken piccata or a lobster roll. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Beautiful aromas of ripe pineapple, lychee, passion fruit, fresh ginger, almond and jasmine blossom dance on the nose. A refreshingly crisp and dry palate filled with bursts of white grapefruit, lemon grass, kaffir lime leaf, honeysuckle and sun baked rock set the stage for a long, lingering finish. While a delight on its own, the structure of this wine also makes it great for enjoying with lighter food and exotic cuisine.
