Sauvignon Blanc 2010

| Print |

Vigorously typical Sauvignon Blanc, with no feral affects. Balletic backbone and vitality, inexhaustibly effusive with bright citrusy aromas and flavors sustained by vine-ripened power of its fruit. A classic worth seeking out, with pinpoint sympathy for its renowned food preferences -- root vegetables, fennel flavorings, oysters, it ls also a brilliant aperitif.
