2020 Krutz Sauvignon Blanc 'Beckstoffer Melrose Vineyard'
2020 Krutz Sauvignon Blanc 'Beckstoffer Melrose Vineyard'
Tasting Notes
Bursting tropical aromatics of stone fruit, guava and kiwi. This unfiltered approach, along with 100% new French oak and no malolactic fermentation, gives way to a bright but textured and long palette. Flavors of honeydew melon, white peach and a touch of lime all are found woven through this rare, old vine Sauvignon Blanc. Rutherford dust isn’t only for reds.Vineyard Notes
