Kenwood Sauvignon Blanc

Description

”Our Sonoma County wines showcase the vibrant fruit and balanced complexities for which this beautiful region is famous.TASTING NOTES Fragrant aromas of lychee, white nectarine and lemongrass combined with zesty citrus and tropical flavors that give way to a crisp and refreshing finish.WINEMAKING The fruit sourced for this Sauvignon Blanc comes from vineyards located in the cooler appellations of Carneros and the Russian River Valley which bring grassy characteristics to the wine, as well as grapes from the warmer Sonoma Valley which impart melon and tropical fruit flavors. The result can be found in this complex and well-balanced wine. The 2014 vintage enjoyed a nearly perfect growing season with a healthy crop of excellent fruit that showed the distinctive aromas for which Sauvignon Blanc is renowned. Harvest began in early September and the individual vineyard lots were harvested at their peak of flavor and then fermented in separate lots of small stainless steel tanks. After aging in small tanks, our winemaking team selected individual lots which form a harmonious and complex blend. The wine was produced without any barrel aging or malolactic fermentation, so the distinctive varietal character of Sauvignon Blanc would carry through to the bottle.FOOD PAIRING Served chilled, this Sauvignon Blanc makes an excellent aperitif and complements a number of entrees particularly spring vegetable salad and herbroasted fish.” – Kenwood
