A great Sauvignon Blanc - very Californian - smooth with a nice acidity, tropical fruits upfront with a slightly tart finish.

Splash of fruit forward then your mouth just devolves into a blessing of flavors! As the drink warms in the mouth there is a sudden caramel soothing earthiness that blends an elegant enticing of flavors to the mouth.

Surprisingly this 12 year old was delightful. Loads of tropical fruit upfront with a crisp honeysuckle finish!

This was actually a red wine not a sauvignon blanc. It was delicious.
