Famille Valery
2017 Domaine des Dux Ruisseaux Sauvignon Blanc
Pale yellow straw color. Aromas of underripe gooseberry, key lime, lemon blossom, melon, jalepeño-honey jelly, and cannabis with a silky, vibrant, dry-yet-fruity light body and an even, stimulating, medium-length kumquat, lemon taffy, flint, and challah loaf finish with no oak flavor. A vivacious Sauvignon Blanc that offers bright citrus with a kiss of toasty lees-like character.
