A stunning lesson in subtlety from Rutherford. Pale straw yellow color with a slight green tinge, youthful, vibrant, fresh, with excellent purity. Layered notes of citrus rind, passion fruit, lychee, and basil, augmented by a slight tropical note. Plenty of volume on the palate while maintaining excellent balance with lifted acidity to keep it lively. Entirely from stainless steel. A highly inviting, refined, elegant style.

Winemaker Notes

This Sauvignon Blanc offers incredible tropical notes of guava, passion fruit, and mango upon first swirl. Hints of lemon zest, citrus blossom and honeydew melon balance out the nose, enticing the palate. Juicy, concentrated flavors of white peach and lychee are complemented with a touch of citrus. Rich and round, this wine’s crisp acidity leaves a fresh, clean finish with lingering fruit notes making this a wine you’ll reach for sip after sip.
