Ancient Peaks Sauvignon Blanc 2010 - Paso Robles

The color is extremely light, almost clear with a hint of both yellow and green. The nose is fresh and clean, tropical fruit and lime. This Sauvignon Blanc has a very viscous almost slippery mouthfeel and tastes of apricot, peach and grapefruit. This not a light and breezy Sauvignon Blanc, there is some weight behind it, the apricot tastes of dried apricots not fresh and the grapefruit has a slightly honeyed taste to it. There is a good amount of well balanced acidity and the finish is crisp and lengthy.

Sauvignon Blanc in this price range tends to be fruity and crisp, sunshine in a bottle and the Ancient Peaks has that, but it also has body and depth. This Sauvignon Blanc isn’t just the perfect wine for a warm summers evening, but is also the wine you would want to pair with that special new recipe you found.
