3 | Wine | New Arrivals, Sauvignon Blanc

"Light, crisp, and highly aromatic, the warmer climate Alexander Valley fruit gives this wine ripe peach, tangerine, and pineapple character, while the ocean cooled Russian River Valley fruit offers citrus, lemon grass, and slightly herbaceous qualities."

"Pale straw-yellow. Grapefruit, melon, lemon and papaya aromas lifted by a minty nuance. Bright, savory and laid-back, with racy acidity giving excellent cut to the fruit, honeysuckle and subtle mineral flavors. A lovely hint of semillon richness blends nicely with the vibrant sauvignon. This could use a year of patience. Incidentally, this winery is called Shannon Vineyards in South Africa."

"The Crossings Sauvignon Blanc has soft gooseberry notes with wonderfully vibrant intensity, leading into a ripe and nicely textured mid-palate. Lime zest flavours play against the signature minerality of the Awatere Valley, with a pleasant, persistent finish."
