Item No. 87818
winemaker's notes:

49% Sauvignon Blanc, 49% Semillon and 2% Chardonnay.

Aroma: Heady aromas of lemon blossom, snowpeas and lemon thyme are enhanced by a hint of sweet orange sherbert.

Palate: The full, textured palate displays grilled asparagus, a flamboyant squeeze of citrus and a hint of dried herbs, finishing long and focused with vibrant, cleansing acidity. Best enjoyed chilled, within two years of release.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.

Organically grown grapes
Organically Grown Grapes

Collectible wine
