Tasting note
Grapefruit, lime and green apple should lead the aroma of this Oakville Sauvignon Blanc, with a faint herbal note. The 2017 Saddleback bottling is expected to have a crisp, direct palate, lively acidity bringing clarity to the citrus and a light mineral texture keeping the fruit focused. Its window has elapsed, so freshness may be subdued; expect a softer finish of lemon peel and gentle savory notes.
