A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: A nod to the classic dry white blends of Bordeaux, this combo of Savvy and Sémillon offers a lovely interplay of freshness and richness. Caramelized peach and ripe cantaloupe mingle with crisp apple, grapefruit, lime, garden herbs and floral notes. The texture is wonderfully viscous, the acidity bright, and the finish nice and long. Savour with pork stir-fry, or pan-fried lake fish and a garden salad. (Vintages panel, Sept. 2018) |
