Winery:  "Color is pale straw with aromas of effusive grapefruit, lime zest and lychee.  The flavors are fresh, full and lively, with vibrant layers of lemongrass and citrus, hints of melon, and a long mineral finish with grapefruit and bright lime flavors.  They combine for a supple, elegant result on the palate."

Wired For Wine: Open your first bottle of crisp, fresh and lively Franciscan Sauvignon Blanc and compel everyone to gather round with a silky Brandade de Morue, a puree of salt cod, cream, potatoes and garlic.  Serve it alongside warm baguette slices and watch just how easily they go down together.  Options for entrees are many, given the array of citrus fruit, melon, the bright full, flavors, and the terrific mineral finish, so will it be chicken, fish, pork, or even turkey?  We love the supple elegance of this Franciscan white with sauteed sea scallops on a bed of vegetable risotto.  Pan-roasted chicken with polenta croquettes and brown butter cabbage is a comforting alternative.  And if you're feeling fancy, butter-poached lobster with ramps, black trumpet mushrooms and sweet pea flan will bring out this Napa white's lovely layers beautifully, and really knock their socks off!  Treat yourselves to another bottle and a young Camembert cheese.  Its meltingly creamy texture and gentle flavors will be perfect opposite the vibrant, crisp nature of this California Sauvignon Blanc.  Where do we sign??
