If only more Sauvignon Blancs from California successfully achieved this fine balance between the grape’s dual nature of acid-driven citrus flavors (especially lime zest) and riper tropical fruit notes such as pineapple and passion fruit. Clean, zesty and satisfying sip after sip, this is definitely a wine to seek out.
