A really great wine from a producer with a fine track record for producing savory, balanced Sauvignon Blancs. With no oak at all, there’s nothing to stand between your palate and the crisply tart pink grapefruit, Meyer lemon & honeydew melon flavors. 90 points Wine Enthusiast ~ Editor’s Choice

Ripe stone fruit, citrus and tropical flavors mingle with the soothing herbaceous notes. Nice acidity with a touch of sweet passion fruit add to the full, crisp finish.
