California Grapevine: "Light yellow; attractive, floral, lemony, grassy, pear, melon, and kiwi aroma; medium-full body; forward, intense, herbal, grassy, citrus and stone fruit flavors with a slightly creamy mouthfeel... lingering aftertaste. Highly recommended. 13.5% alcohol; blended with 24% Semillon; 20% barrel fermented; 0% malolactic fermentation. (Aug/Sep 2009)"

Producer notes: "76% Sauvignon Blanc, 24% Sémillon. This Sauvignon Blanc seamlessly combines lush, mouth-filling fruit with refreshing acidity. The aromas highlight bright citrus notes of lemon zest, grapefruit and kaffir lime, underscored by subtle hints of pear and dried apricot. Echoing the aromatics, the palate reveals vibrant citrus layers complemented by more subdued tropical elements of banana, coconut and lychee."
