This certainly isn’t the world’s most “challenging” Sauvignon Blanc, due to its lack of pungency or tartness, but not everybody wishes to be challenged by their wine after a long day of work. Lightly herbal aromas and citrus fruit flavors keep this true to varietal character, with enough acidity to keep it refreshing but not make anybody pucker up. Very well made, and very broadly appealing. A Platinum Award winner at the 2019 San Diego International Wine and Spirits Challenge.
