2005 Sauvignon Blanc
WINEMAKER'S NOTES
Simi Winery Sauvignon Blanc is everything a wine made from this grape should
be—filled with lively acid and crisp, clean fruit flavors. A small amount
of Semillon is blended in to help develop richness on the palate.
The grapes
for Simi Winery’s Sauvignon Blanc represent
the best of Sonoma County . The final blend is a reflection of
grapes from prestigious vineyards with climates vastly different
from one another throughout Sonoma County . Warmer climates produce
fig and melon flavors and a silky texture. Cooler climates contribute
grass, lemon and mineral characteristics and a bright, zingy acid
component.
THE WINE
Appearance: Brilliant light
straw with hints of green.
Aroma: Bursts of fresh grapefruit, lemon and orange blossoms are laced with subtle hints
of melon and lemongrass.
Taste and Texture: Lively notes of citrus,
melon and fig are accented by mineral notes on the crisp finish.
