Grgich Hills Dry Sauvignon Blanc Fume Blanc 2003
American Canyon, Napa Valley, California, United StatesLight and elegant, this "New World" 'dry' sauvignon is a delight to sip. The '03 is the second estate-grown edition of Grgich Fumé Blanc and it's exceptional. The grapes come off the winery's American Canyon vineyard where the climate is cool and windy. The nose is awash in citrus fruit as is the clean fresh palate. Exceptional styling and balance with just a hint of barrel vanilla in the finish. Not quite New Zealand but a far cry from most California sauvignon.Tasted: 16 January 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:US | $37.95 | 750ml |
