Sauvignon Republic Russian River Sauvignon Blanc 2006
Sauvignon Blanc
from Russian River, California
winemaker's notes:
Classic pale-straw color with rich pineapple, grapefruit, and tropical fruit layers
and a touch of herbal "green" Sauvignon notes. Multiple vineyard sources
allowed the assembly of a blend that showcases fruitiness and refreshing acidity
supported by a surprising richness and length of finish.
The bright, lemony flavors layered with the exotic hints of tropical fruit make this
wine a natural with almost any cuisine. Fresh aromatic herbs such as
basil, dill, mint, lemon grass, kaffir lime and cilantro are great bridges to use
between food and this delicious wine.
