Niner Wine Estates, Edna Valley (California) Sauvignon Blanc 2016

This recent release features a little bit of oak, which helps to cream up the mid-palate texture without intruding on lively citrus, melon and tropical fruit flavors.  A light touch of grassiness shows itself in the lip smacking finish.  Winemaker Patrick Muran knew this would be releasing early and kept the sulfite addition to a minimum.  Hello summertime!
