From the bottle:

Offering superb balance. Our Sauvignon Blanc is easy to enjoy while showing a real depth of character. It offers up a full spectrum of bright fruit flavors, held together by a crisp backbone of juicy acidity. Though our fans enjoy Sauvignon Blanc in all seasons for all reasons, it begs to be paired with fresh oysters on the half-shell.

Tasting Notes: lemon, orange blossom, pear.

13.5% Alcohol

Home to both Napa and Sonoma, but also places like Lake County and Mendocino, the large and varied North Coast AVA of California can be a great spot for tasty and affordable Sauvignon Blanc. And that is exactly what we have here.

The 2018 Murphy-Goode Sauvignon Blanc begins with very pleasing aromas of lemongrass, citrus and a little tropical fruit. Tasting the wine reveals a smooth, slightly creamy texture from the deft addition of barrel fermentation to 13% of the juice. You’ll also find refreshing notes of pear, pineapple and citrus with a bit of a herbal touch and bright acidity in this tasty wine. It finishes crisply and with surprising length silently begging you to take another sip.

This is a great option for seafood, spicy foods or just sitting on the porch in warm weather. Highly Recommended!
