Cakebread Cellars Reviews: 2008 Sauvignon Blanc

 

2010 Sauvignon Blanc
Napa Valley

 

Wine & Spirits

A tight, citrusy sauvignon, this opens to tart yellow cherry flavors as the fruit lengthens into the finish. It has a floral note of wild flower honey that recalls the sunniness of Napa valley. Clean and refreshing.

Wine and Spirits Magazine rated our 2010 Sauvignon Blanc with 91 points.
