WINEMAKER'S NOTES

Simi Sauvignon Blanc is everything a wine made from this grape should be—filled with lively acidity and crisp, clean fruit flavors. A small amount of Sémillon is blended in to help develop richness on the palate.

The grapes for Simi’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
