Wine Review: This pale straw-colored Sauvignon Blanc from Knight Bridge is Excellent. It opens with a yellow grapefruit and lime bouquet with notes of passion fruit and ginger. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, bright and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a tasty blend of slightly tart yellow grapefruit, ginger, and stony minerality with notes of lime and green apple. I also detected hints of white pepper, saline and a touch of vanilla in the mix. The finish is dry and very refreshing. I would pair this impressive Sauvignon Blanc with Emeril's crab cakes. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: This elegant example of Sauvignon Blanc makes a strong statement about the complexity of the grape variety in Knights Valley. Elevated aromas of citrus blossom, kaffir lime and honeycomb burst from the glass with aeration. On the palate, flavors of Meyer lemon, mint and wildflower honey are seamlessly woven together, leading to a refreshing finish with mineral notes reminiscent of those that follow the first spring rains. Drink now through 2030. The elegance of this wine works especially well with rich cheeses, fresh seafood, or Asian dishes.
