Wine of the Week: Kenwood Sauvignon Blanc 2006 (CA) $13

Tuesday July 1, 2008

The 2006 Kenwood Sauvignon Blanc is the perfect summer wine. This Sauvignon Blanc brings lots of summer scents to the glass - fresh cut grass and lemon zest dominate the nose. The flavor profile is bursting with fresh fruit flavor, mainly lemon-lime citrus and melon. The acidity is well played and the evolution easily transitions into a remarkable, crisp finish. The grapes for this wine are from five different Sonoma County appellations, bringing the best of the bunch to the bottle for a super summer sipper! This wine offers fantastic flavor and value, not to mention tip top food pairing potential when well-chilled. Give it a go for the Fourth of July festivities!
