Wine Review: This clear and pale straw-colored Sauvignon Blanc from Stags' Leap opens with a fragrant gooseberry and yellow grapefruit pith bouquet with hints of green tea and lemon. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with plus acidity. The mouthfeel is round, bright, and zesty. The flavor profile is a gooseberry and iced oolong tea blend with notes of tart yellow grapefruit and asparagus. I also detected hints of lemon zest. The finish is dry, and its flavors and acidity are refreshing and linger nicely. I would pair this Sauvignon Blanc with swordfish skewers. Enjoy - Ken
Winemaker Notes: Refreshing and bright, with fragrant lemon citrus notes and delicate white floral characters illuminating the fragrant profile on the nose as notes of Meyer lemon peel, acacia blossom, and subtle lemongrass waft from the glass. The palate is zesty and crisp, presenting a light to medium body with lovely balance, rich complexity, and silky weight. Elegant notes of green Anjou pear, white peach, and citrus fruits provide a lively freshness as nuanced elements of spiced white pepper, lanolin, and flinty minerality provide a structured backbone, giving this wine layered finesse and persistent intensity. The finish is long and perfumed with mouthwatering acidity.
