Rancho Zabaco Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2004 (California)

Producer: 
Rancho Zabaco
Item name: 
Reserve Sauvignon Blanc
Wine type: 
White
Reviewer: 
Tom DiNardo

With all of the recent talk about terrific New Zealand sauvignon blanc, it’s a great time to find a cost effective local US competitor. I was duly impressed with this California sauvignon blanc. The nose features fresh cut grass, citrus, and herbal notes. Fruit forward flavors of key lime, mineral and grapefruit deliver a mouth watering, long, finish. This wine is perfect with shellfish and assorted seafood. Indulge.
