Tasting note
Forbes Creek's 2015 Vintage Selection Sauvignon Blanc should offer grapefruit, lemon and green apple, with a faint herbal aroma. California fruit is expected to feel light and crisp, acidity lending the citrus a bright edge and a clean palate texture. The projected window ended in 2018, so the wine is beyond its expected span and freshness may be reduced. If it remains sound, the finish could leave soft citrus and savory notes.
