This is a classic representation of grassy, peppery Sauvignon Blanc with tomato leaf, jalapeno, cilantro, and grapefruit pith on the nose. The attack is like a squirt of jalapeno juice from chopping fresh pepper. Green and tart with a prickly pear texture, the vegetal notes create an undertone and allow room for citrus notes and sweetened peach flavors. (Best 2017 - 2022) - March, 2017 (JH)
