Root:1 Sauvignon Blanc
Wine Description
Normal to cool weather early in the season resulted in natural fruit concentration on the vine and encouraged a long, slow maturation. Toward the end of the season, temperatures stayed cool in Casablanca, producing a rich Sauvignon Blanc with ripe citrus flavors and aromas of tropical passion fruit.
