Silverado Miller Ranch Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2008
Wine & Spirits: Rated as Exceptional examples of their type. "This wine includes a small portion of semillion (7 percent), which adds some richness to the texture. The flavor of peaches shows the ripeness of the wine. Scents of chamomile add to the flavor depth, while the texture is meaty enough to serve with roast veal." Jun 2009
Winery: "Sauvignon Blanc has tremendous vibrancy and exotic aromatics. Our road map to creating Miller Ranch is simple: cold, stainless steel fermentation to preserve the citrusy freshness, multiple yeast strains to enhance the aromas and enough barrel fermented Semillon to make the texture silky. Brilliant pale straw color with a green tinge. Intensely fresh aromatics – orange blossom, lime, honeydew melon, mineral and juniper. Fresh flavors echo the aromas. Juicy citrus flavors and a lively acidity entice you to have another glass." Wired For Wine: The vibrant, fresh fruit and lively acidity of the Silverado Miller Ranch Estate Sauvignon Blanc is the ideal pairing with the freshest and simplest seafood and fowl. This Miller Ranch will bring out the delicate flavors of steamed fish dishes. How about red snapper with ginger? The silky, rich texture derived from the Semillon enables it to handle oven-roasted or pan-fried white meats like pork and veal. Is that spring peeking over the horizon? We can't wait to sit outside with a chilled glass and enjoy a plate of briny oysters. This Sauvignon Blanc is wonderful with a variety of appetizers; we love it with smoked trout on greens with a dollop of horseradish cream on the side. Move on to a mouth-watering bowl of calamari with garlic, tomatoes, and peas. Because this Silverado is such a good companion with vegetables, we also highly recommend it with pasta, asparagus and pesto.The best way we can think of to end this meal is to savor another glass with a tangy, creamy goat cheese. Serve it with a crusty peasant bread, hopefully somewhere outside! Size: 750ml Varietal: 93% Sauvignon Blanc, 7% Semillon Alcohol: 13.7% Region: Napa Valley, California |
