2013 Billsboro Sauvignon Blanc

Saw Mill Creek Vineyards in Finger Lakes New York

This wine is 100% Sauvignon Blanc with 20% of the wine racked to neutral French oak barrels to age for 4 months.  It has a relatively low alcohol level at 12% ABV.
The wine has a very pale straw color. There are delicate aromas of fresh cut grass, gooseberry with some tropical notes. On the palate the tropical fruit shines though and the wine has a medium body feel with biting acidity. The finish is filled with gooseberry, grapefruit and mouth watering acidity. This is an enjoyable easy drinking wine.

Lady Elena Caviar Pairing

The 8th Pearl Caviar (Kaluga Hybrid Sturgeon):  This pairing results in the caviar neutralizing the fruit and the wine giving a slightly mouthwatering finish. A good wine and caviar pairing with The 8th Pearl Caviar from Lady Elena Caviar.
