From the bottle:
"Now into our fifth decade of Growing & Winemaking in Napa Valley, the Tudal Family pays tribute with this distinctive wine to the iconic Canada Geese that annually migrate down the Valley and nest behind the crush pad. We know their incessant honking over the winery is a reciprocal toast to us. Our Sauvignon Blanc has bright citrus, green apple and ripe lemon flavors with a rich and silky texture.
13.8% Alcohol"
Today's wine comes from the same producer as the Tractor Shed Red which is my #1 wine on the current Top 10 list. Expectations were high, to say the least, but let's see how it does.
The 2010 Honker Blanc Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc from Cerruti Cellars (a Tudal Family Winery) begins with pleasant aromas of pineapple and citrus. The wine tastes very good with flavors of green apple, lemon, lime plus a little peach and grapefruit. Add to that nice acidity and a good satiny texture and you've got a winner. It ends with a nice crisp finish with some lingering pineapple. Overall just a really nice, crisp and refreshing Sauvignon Blanc.
