Kendall Jackson Vintners Reserve Sauvignon Blanc (75cl, 13.5%)

A coastal California white wine from Kendall-Jackson, blended mainly from Lake County fruit with smaller portions from Mendocino and Sonoma counties. The final blend is 94% Sauvignon Blanc, 4% Pinot Blanc and 2% Sémillon, with individual vineyard plots kept separate through fermentation before blending. The nose opens with bright white grapefruit and kaffir lime, followed by honeysuckle and chamomile blossom, with dried herbs, cut grass and a subtle mineral streak beneath. The palate is fresh and lively, led by pink grapefruit and ripe pear, with lemongrass, quince and citrus peel. The finish is medium in length, juicy and dry, with lingering grapefruit pith and a faint herbal quality.
