Notes from the Winemaker:

California Sauvignon Blanc offers a large selection of delicious wines to choose from, with some of the state's most modestly priced and widely available whites. Having built a consistent track record with a core of solid producers and perennial values, the category is branching out in new directions, as a fresh crop of labels and emerging
regions appear on the scene. 

Take Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara, one of the newest and smallest American
Viticultural Areas in California. Established only two years ago, it encompasses an area about one-tenth the size of Napa Valley. But it's already making an impact, with three outstanding releases in this year's report.

Tasting Notes:
This is real Sauvignon Blanc, crisp and clean; there are hints of melon, green grass, some fruit cocktail and a clear minerality on the nose.
