“Always an excellent Sauvignon Blanc”

Winemaking Notes

From the first sip, the Amici Rutherford Sauvignon Blanc showcases its elegant and refined character. Aromas of fig, Meyer lemon, and orange blossom lead to a palate that offers a lovely combination of wet stone, mineral, citrus oil, and lime zest. The wine’s acidity and minerality add depth and complexity, leading to a long, satisfying finish—reminiscent of a White Burgundy in style.

“This is always an excellent sauvignon blanc, with aromas of sliced melon, apples, lemon rind and grapefruit. It’s full-bodied and layered, with phenolics and texture that drive the wine to the finish. The bitter lemon is so delicious. Drink or hold.”
