This is a Sauvignon Blanc that is refreshing rather than astringent. When Mondavi Fumé Blanc was introduced in the 1960 it came with a substantial amount of oak, but over the years it evolved into a delectable fusion of fruit, acid and a touch of oak. The composition is 94% Sauvignon Blanc and 6% Semillon from Napa Valley (51% Stags Leap District, 30% Oakville, 19% Napa Valley).
