Robert Mondavi Fumé Blanc Oakville 2013
Napa Valley, California, United StatesThe Oakville Sauvignon Blanc, known famously as Fumé Blanc, is a 79/21 mix of sauvignon blanc and sémillon with some vines closing in on 50 years in the ground. The nose is almost shockingly fresh, alive with lemon verbena, lime blossom, wet stone and savoury fennel flavours throughout its creamy textures. Balanced yet persistent it sweeps across the palate with verve from front to back. You hardly notice that 91% of the wine is barrel fermented, but while the oak is subdued the complexity Is not. A delicious wine for west coast shellfish, veal or the classic goat cheese match.Tasted: 18 November 2016Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $47.99 | 750ml | newdistrict.ca |
