PERFECT PAITRING: Peju Estate Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley
Bright and clear in appearance, the 2009 Sauvignon Blanc has a delightful nose of white nectarine, passion fruit, lemon curd and hints of minerality. Fresh and lively on the palate with balanced acidity, the flavors are a fabulous combination of tropical fruit, grapefruit and lime zest with whispers of mango, guava and fresh pineapple.
