Columbia Crest Grand Estates Sauvignon Blanc (75cl, 13%)

Columbia Crest Grand Estates Sauvignon Blanc is a Washington State Sauvignon Blanc from the Columbia Valley, bottled at approximately 13% ABV. Columbia Crest was established in 1984 in Paterson, Washington, along the Columbia River, and is part of Ste. Michelle Wine Estates. The Grand Estates line sits between the entry-level offerings and the Reserve and Walter Clore expressions, drawing fruit from vineyards across the Columbia Valley AVA. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks preserves bright aromatics and varietal purity. The nose opens with pink grapefruit and herbal freshness, supported by delicate minerality, citrus blossom and faint grassiness. The palate is bright and citrus-forward, with grapefruit zest, gooseberry, sweet lime, passion fruit and lively acidity. The finish is crisp and refreshing, with lingering citrus pith and subtle minerality.
