Sauvignon Blanc

Appellation: Napa Valley
Vintage: 2009
Winemaker’s Tasting Notes
The 2009 Twomey Cellars Sauvignon Blanc is a wine that deftly balances the varied expressions of this classic variety. It has a light-straw color with green tinges and aromas of fresh pear, crisp green apple, lime and grapefruit zest enriched by hints of honeydew. The freshness is accentuated by wet stone minerality and lifted white citrus blossoms, nuanced by fresh cream and lemongrass tones. On the palate, the fine lime citrus acidity is fleshed out with a well balanced mid-palate giving a creamy, yet fresh feeling. The wet limestone minerality balances the sweet green apple notes and the honeysuckle richness extends into incredible length. This perfectly balanced wine delivers generous flesh upon a frame of lacy minerality. A complex fresh and rich wine to pair wonderfully with food or to be relished on its own.
