2007 Cosentino The Novelist

California

Our signature white Meritage is a crisp blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon that is partially fermented is French Oak barrels.

In the nose this wine shows aromas of minerals, melon, honeysuckle, and fresh finely chopped parsley. Bright and balanced, with centered flavors of melon and baking spices that lead into rich layers of citrus with the emphasis on Indian River grapefruit.
