Cakebread Sauvignon Blanc

Today, September 8th, is International Literacy Day! While unearthing a good book can be a challenge, finding a great wine to go with it shouldn’t be – and that’s where the Cakebread Sauvignon Blanc comes in. With grapes sourced from the legendary Napa Valley, the 2019 Sauv Blanc goes especially well with light meats and salads. This delicious white is the wine equivalent of a page-turner – you’ll finish it before you know it!

ORIGIN

Napa Valley, California

Grapes

99% Sauvignon Blanc, 1% Semillon

Tasting Notes

Aromas of fresh pink grapefruit, sweet citrus and hay burst with freshness on the nose. Cool melon tones balance pink grapefruit on the palate, accented by ripe acidity and a subtle mineral citrus finish.

Food Match

Very versatile as an aperitif or with fish, poultry, pasta, salads
