Winemaker Steve Rogstad does an excellent job here of taming the pungent characteristics typically associated with cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc. The flavor profile of this beauty from Cuvaison runs toward melon and gooseberry and away from the tart New Zealand style, though the wine has plenty of zip and mouth-watering acidity.
