2011 Rochioli Sauvignon Estate Russian River
Secondary Description
Unique in my experience, this zesty, citrussy wine tastes almost more like a grapefruity Scheurebe than a Sauvignon Blanc and that is no disadvantage. It also has spice notes and is a distinctive and full flavoured wine. Light and perky, it`s a great aperitif and perfect with a lunchtime crab sandwich. (CW 18/03/13)

Pale yellow. High-pitched aromas of lemon zest, green apple, jasmine and iodine, with a hint of white pepper coming up with air. Dry and precise sauvignon, offering solid punch to its intense citrus and floral flavors. Powerful but weightless wine with excellent finishing clarity and length. 91 points
