"Fans of Sancerre will love this complex, lean and lively Sauvignon. The color is a light straw-yellow and aromas recall grapefruit and lime. Flavors of bright, tangy citrus continue on the palate, with a note of white pepper. The snappy balance and lithe texture keeps everything echoing on the finish.Fans of Sancerre will love this complex, lean and lively Sauvignon.

Product Description:
WINE:
"Light and approachable, this high flavor-low alcohol wine is perfect to drink all day long and into the party hour. Lemon-lime, grapefruit and accents of tangerines and nectarines dominate its flavors and aromas. This wine pairs well with live music, sunny days, fresh cuisine, cool dudes and hot babes. Basically, it pairs well with pretty much the best things in life! We call that winning and to the victor go the spoils" - Winery
VINEYARD:
"In terms of both culture and viticulture I had only heard Lake County brought up as the punch line to a joke...Well, I have to admit, the joke is on me. From the ashes of a walnut orchard rose a diamond of a Sauvignon Blanc vineyard. With shade from the mountains in the mornings and warm lake effect summer nights the grapes reach flavor maturity at their own pace. This slow, even ripening process allows the grapes to hold their light tangerine-melon-Meyer lemon flavors as their sugar content creeps toward pick-worthy. Every bit as great as the vineyard's location are the guys who farm it. The vineyard owner Chris Schlies and vineyard manager Larry Rogers, who has farmed the vineyard since he spearheaded its development in 1996, work as a team to sustainably guide the vines from pruning to picking. Hats off to you sirs, let it be known that your diligence in the vineyard makes the winemakers' job an easy one." - Winery
WINEMAKER:
Self taught and self financed, armed with nine harvests of experience and inspiration from the English bowmen at Agincourt, I started Bodkin Wines in the fall of 2011. Embracing a mix of new-wave technologies and time-honored traditional methodologies I strive to craft stylish Sauvingnon Blanc that showcases the bright and fresh aromatics that the variety is known for with a palate that is both vibrant and delightfully textured. Whether it's barrel fermentation, extended skin-contact or sparkling wine production, I'm willing to push the envelope of convention in hopes of crafting a wine that you enjoy drinking as much as I enjoyed making... I know it sounds cliche, but that's my word." - Winery
