A medium-bodied crisp and fruit forwards Sauvignon Blanc from Sonoma County.
Technical Data: 100% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% of the wine was aged a few months only in oak. twist off cap, no cork.
Description: Light gold color. Intense nose of tropical and green fruits aromas. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and shows some minerality and herbaceousness along with fruity flavors such as pear, citrus and pineapple. Crisp and refreshing with a nice acidity.
Food Pairing & Service: A crisp and refreshing wine which will pair well with a Goat cheese, try the one recommended to me by one of my friends from the “Cheese Fromagerie” Department from the store I was tasting in, the Cheese is from Vermont and is called Coupole, this pairing will knocks you socks off I guarantee it! Of course, this wine can be sip by itself as well, or paired with salad and mild fish. Serve chilled.
Score: 8/10.
Ageing Potential: This wine should be drunk in its youth.
Price as seen on DC shelf: $16.29
That was a great wine and cheese pairing. One customer returned everything she had in her basket and instead purchased the Coupole and Sauvignon Blanc to enjoy for her dinner that evening.
