"Floral and herbal notes from the Dry Creek Valley round out this wine, making it sensational for summer quaffing. A wine this balanced is the result of extensive experimentation and thoughtful winemaking" Ferrari - Carano

The 2009 Fume Blanc offers aromas and flavors of flinty grapefruit and orange rind intermixed with a hint of honey. This exuberant, crisp, medium-bodied, fruity, extroverted white is a total hedonistic turn-on. Enjoy it over the next year.

Light greenish-yellow color. Peppery aromas of lime zest and lemongrass are complemented by a deeper suggestion of ripe pear. Tangy but broad, offering subtly sweet orchard fruit flavors and a bracing kick of citrus zest. Shows an attractive blend of sweetness and cut on the finish, which repeats the lemongrass note. This is a solid value for California sauvignon blanc and should be very flexible with food.
