Benziger Fumé Blanc 1997

Sonoma County, California, United StatesLook for a rich, consumer style sauvignon here. Aromas of citrus, lime, earth, toasted oak, grapefruit, grass and mineral quality. It's rich and round on the palate with grapefruit/honey, oak lees and kiwi flavours. Long finish that's slightly warm but with fine balance. One of the best on the market.Tasted: 01 September 1998Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
