This fruity Sauvignon Blanc was aged in mature oak barrels, which makes it rich and creamy in texture. But the stainless steel fermentation retains its pretty fruit flavors of pink grapefruit, ripe melon, and mango, nicely woven with a thread of grassiness. Tasty on its own, it’s also a good choice for seafood based paella, roast chicken, or mild white fish. Widely available, you’ll find it at Costco, Trader Joe’s, and at BevMo! for $12.99 retail.
