Duckhorn 2009 Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc


Here's another great white for the summer. Slightly more expensive than the Flora Springs SB, this one sells for $27/bottle. Here's a fancy description from Duckhorn's website: "The tropical aromas are echoed on the palate and given added dimension by the addition of Semillon, which helps to showcase the juicy guava, passion fruit and pineapple upside-down cake flavors, alongside notes of fresh apple, vanilla and key lime pie."

That about sums it up. It's a slightly heavier Sauvignon Blanc than the 2009 Flora Springs but it's excellent.
