Turnbull Cellars Sauvignon Blanc 2003

Oakville, Napa Valley, California, United StatesSkellenger Vineyards is the source of most of the sauvignon used at Turnbull half of which is the sauvignon musqué clone and its lime-scented fruit. The blend gets an extra smattering of three to five per cent viognier and malvasia bianca both of which elevate the wines floral notes and a simialr hit of sémillon. This is delicious sauvignon that is consistently streaked with lime citrus notes and refreshing fruit flavours in the finish. Very fine.Tasted: 16 January 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
