Buttonwood Farm Winery Sauvignon Blanc |
2006 Sauvignon Blanc Santa Ynez Valley
As a grapevine, sauvignon blanc is pretty easy-going. It grows well without needing a lot of pampering and will produce a hearty yield if left to its own devices. But at Buttonwood, sauvignon blanc is nurtured, manicured and gardened to produce a carefully calculated crop of glorious golden clusters. Sauvignon Blanc is after all, Buttowood's signature wine and we rest our reputation on this time-honored grape. The 2006 Buttonwood Sauvignon Blanc is crisp, refreshing and focused. A pale straw color glistens in the glass and encourages a swirl that results in a somewhat exotic bouquet of kiwi, guava and lemon-lime jumping from the glass. On the palate, the wine is light and lively, with honeydew melon, lemon zest and a hint of fennel complemented by the creamy, round textural components from the semillon. The finish is lasting, sleek and citrusy.
We love Buttonwood Sauvignon Blanc with seafood- crab cakes, scallops, and almond encrusted halibut. |
