Best served chilled, the medium straw color of this Symphony and Sauvignon Blanc blend, opens up to an aromatic apricot and peach nose with a hint of banana and orange rind. The bright lively fruit of apricot and a hint of Muscat flood your mouth with your first taste. Sweet, yet tart; lean, yet full with a medium long, slightly sweet finish. - Excellent fresh fruit character and flavors of Meyer lemon and crisp apple. It is bone dry and very food friendly.
- Aged in stainless steel, this crisp Sauvignon Blanc has lovely citrus, pear, and tropical fruit flavors. Enjoy with grilled swordfish, raw oysters, or a lemon-seasoned roast chicken.
- Crisp, fresh, and balanced. Lovely melon and citrus flavors in perfect harmony. A joy with baked grouper w/ mango salsa on a warm summer evening!
- This Estate Sauvignon Blanc is grown in the cool fog-influenced Russian River Valley. These cool nights and warm days give the wine rich tropical fruit flavors balanced by a minerality backbone of citrus fruits.
- Delivers plenty of Kiwi character with a little extra complexity and focus - possibly from 10% Riesling co-fermented with the Sauvignon! Juicy, bright, and vivacious with generous flavors of pink grapefruit, passion fruit, lemon, lime, and fresh grass. There's a nice minerality on the mouthwatering finish. Generous, but nicely in control, this will be just as at home on the table as it is by itself on the back deck.
- The Artisan Sauvignon Blanc is everything I'd hope for in a value Sauvignon Blanc. Soft, fresh lemon aromas give way to a satisfying and refreshing palate of lemon curd, lime, and just a hint of grapefruit. Unlike most New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs this wine will not overwhelm with grapefruit citrus. Instead it is rounded by a nice creaminess that does not sacrifice the freshness of the fruit nor the crispness of wine. A great Sauvignon Blanc for any season.
- This stainless steel fermented and aged Sauvignon Blanc displays tangerine, pineapple, and slight grapefruit aromas. It has a crisp, tropical entry with a lush mid-palate followed by a crisp apple, citrus finish. This is a patio pleaser!
- An exceptionally priced Sauvignon Blanc from estate-grown fruit, Brutocao’s Feliz Vineyard offers pronounced aromatics, all honeysuckle and apricot. Floral, savory, even slightly salty, the fruit that will stand out most here is honeydew melon. The wine’s just-enough level of sweetness is reminiscent of nature’s best.
- Refreshing and crisp, with hints of green apple, ripe pears, pineapple and tropical citrus, this Sauvignon Blanc is produced with fruit from the foothills of the Andes Mountains. This wine will pair well with seafood, poultry and soft goat cheese.
- Vinified entirely in stainless steel, "Premstaller" vibrates with freshness, each sip is an ultimate thirst-quencher, a perfect balance of sweet Sauvignon fruit and tangy citrus flavors. This is an electric, firecracker-fresh Sauvignon Blanc. Elderberry and gooseberry aromas lend a fine elegance to this wine's full, voluminous structure.
- This Sauvignon Blanc delivers a generous serving of tropical fruit and grapefruit. Lively with refreshing acidity and mouthwatering flavors that fill the palate with dimension.
- Exotic aromas of pineapple, granny smith apple, bosc pear skin, mineral-infused cream and white flowers leap from the glass. In the mouth this wine is crisp, clean, and delicate oozing with tropical flavors ansd subtle notes of crushed rocks and lime citrus. This wine will be deliciously refreshing over the next few years.
- A classic Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc, with zesty citrus character, aromas of white fruit/white flowers, fresh cut grass, and a characteristic mineral note.
- Lively aromas of fresh herbs, minerals, figs, and orange peel jump out of the glass. This wine is clean, juicy and penetrating, yet quite supple, with ripe citrus and fig notes adding to its complex nature. It exhibits a wonderful balance as well as very good flavor intensity and length. A classic wine for seafood, or fowl and it would work very well with appetizers. This is a new discovery for us and it continues to amaze us for the sheer value it represents. Elegance like this is hard to find even in wines more expensive than this.
- Sweet, fresh, honeyed citrus and tropical fruits in a forward, lush, easy drinking style that will be best consumed young.
- This wine reveals beautiful tropical aromas and fresh grapefruit on the nose, while being supported by the nicely weighted, fresh-cream middle palate and an extensive stone fruit .
- Exhibits a very tropical nose with bright citrus, orange zest, and complex layers of passion fruit, lychee, and white peach aromas, as well as a striking crushed gravel minerality. This wine has great texture, with a ripe, round palate, that is kept in focus with a perfect natural acidity.
- A single-vineyard, terroir-driven Sauvignon Blanc from our estate. Aged 6 months sur lie, this bone-dry, full-bodied wine is defined by its lively acidity, and rich, floral, mouth-watering flavor. No new oak, and no malolatic influences fog the purity of this wine. Perfumed with lime, grapefruit, and lemon blossoms, this Sauvignon Blanc is at once rich and creamy, crisp, and dry.
- Kick Ranch Sauvignon Blanc is barrel fermented for texture and complexity, in a style reminiscent of Loire. The texture is bright and grainy, balanced with richness and creaminess from new oak and sur lie aging in 25% new French oak. As in previous vintages, the aromatics of spiced fruit are off the charts. I think of slightly ripened tropical fruit with coriander and mace, tinged with a little dried wild grass and green apple. The mouth feel is full with with integrated acid, contributing to an extremely long finish.
- This Sauvignon Blanc has an appealing green-yellow color with floral notes intermingled with tropical fruits. The fresh and citrusy finish on the palate makes this wine dry, refreshing and crisp.
