Simi Sauvignon Blanc, USA

This brilliantly clear, pale-straw-colored Sauvignon Blanc is fresh, bright, and crisp. The wine opens with complex aromas of fresh citrus, stone fruit, subtle orange blossom, lemongrass, and a hint of wet stone. Fresh and forward, zesty flavors of apricot and grapefruit, lemon zest, with subtle white flower notes meld beautifully with a brilliant acidity. Fresh, full, and vibrant, the finish is long and lingering with cool minerality.

SIMI Winery Executive Chef Kolin Vazzoler suggests pairing this wine with pasta pesto, goat cheese with olives, barbequed shrimp, vegetable stir fry, and roast chicken.
