Winery Notes: This Sauvignon Blanc has the traditional aromas of cut grass followed by melon, orange, pear and apricot with tropical notes of passion fruit and mango. Jasmine and other floral aromas add interest to the wine. The balanced acids give this wine a wonderful mouth-feel, with the predominant flavor of grapefruit.

Other text

The goal with our Echo Ridge Sauvignon Blanc is to capture the true varietal character of the Sauvignon Blanc grape and preserve the full range of flavors through anaerobic processing and cool fermentation in stainless steel. The wine is as clean and crisp in style as possible, and for that reason it pairs well with a wide range of foods. This wine has fresh aromas of green apples, fresh grass, and lemon. In the mouth, the wine is bright and full, with clean flavors of tarragon, lemon, and green apple. Subtle hints of lime and fresh mint add complexity. The finish is clean and crisp.
