Zoetic Wines

Known for their exquisite and highly regarded Pinot Noir, Zoetic applies that same talent to make your new favorite Sauvignon Blanc. Fortunate to source exceptional fruit from an established family vineyard in Oakville, making their lovely and delicious 2013 Sauvignon Blanc was effortless. The Tench Vineyard is located on the valley floor just off the Silverado Trail and is surrounded by some of the most acclaimed vineyards in Napa Valley.

Pale straw yellow in color, reflective and brilliant in the light, this Sauvignon Blanc has a lot going on. Such a pretty wine, it starts out with aromas of toasted almonds, banana, pineapple, wet stone, citrus, and fresh cut grass. So smooth as it floats over the tongue, flavors of French vanilla and papaya are detected and a cool minerality near the finish. The acidity is in perfect balance. Mexican cuisine comes to mind with this wine.

Light and refreshing, Sauvignon Blanc is a perfect summer wine. Serve with light dishes like linguini, clams and shrimp scampi. First courses such as soup, salads, antipasto and seafood dishes are particularly good pairings. Fresh herbs bring out the best in this style of wine. In addition, the wine's high acidity allows Sauvignon Blanc to cut through the fat in cream based dishes, making anything with an Alfredo sauce base a perfect match. Enjoy also with soft cheeses.
