Project Paso 2009 Sauvignon Blanc is from Don Sebastiani & Son's, Paso Robles, California. This is not 100% Sauvignon Blanc grape and is blended with a small amount of Semillion. A nice, crisp wine with the typical Sauvignon Blanc profile of grapefruit, lemon and lime, but also having a hint of green apple. An enjoyable and refreshing wine. Winemaker's Notes: "Our Project Paso Sauvignon Blanc has classic varietal aromas of lemon and grass, with hints of honey and lime from a small percentage of Semillon. A white grape often blended with Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon lends extra complexity and a hint of richness to the mouthfeel. On the palate, flavors of Meyer lemon marmalade come together with the citrus zing of key lime and grapefruit, mellowed by green apple notes in the background. Great structure and length come from the integrated acidity of this wine, and the transition from sweet fruit to zippy finish is fresh and crowd-pleasing.
Pair this Paso Robles Sauvignon Blanc with summer salads and soft cheeses, such as a tuna nicoise salad or a goat cheese, watermelon, and greens salad with a citrus vinaigrette. Zesty goat cheese spread on a crust of fresh bread would also make a great match with the bright flavors of this Central Coast wine."
This wine also has the zork-cork. Not a screw top, but no corkscrew required. Just pull the tab and unwrap to the top of the cork.
