Grassini 2014 Reserve Sauvignon Blanc (Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara)

Country: US / Reserve
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc California
Winery: Grassini / Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara

The oak is quite apparent on this bottling, and that’s the point. Red apple, ripe pear, pomelo pith and sweetgrass meet with a touch of honey on the nose. The palate shows the oak more prominently, with light honey butter, sweet almond and vanilla, yet fresh, grassy notes shine through on the finish.
