2011 Wild Turkey Sauvignon Blanc

Description

2011 WILD TURKEY SAUVIGNON BLANC

From a magnificent display of tailfeathers to chattering antics of clucking, purring, and gobbling, the return of the wild turkeys at the Triple “R” Ranch & Winery is a captivating sight to see each Spring!  The 2011 Wild Turkey Sauvignon Blanc is a well-crafted Texas/New Mexico blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon grapes.  The style of Sauvignon Blanc presented is the perfect display of how grapes behave differently in different areas of the world.  This warm weather climate sauvignon blanc promotes tropical fruits of pear, apricot and pineapple verses the more pungent grassy sharp citric flavors in the same variety from wetter climates of New Zealand with more consistent cool nights.  A must-have bottle to share with great friends and learn about wines of the world!

The Wild Turkey Sauvignon Blanc is a delicious reminder of the warm summer days to come.
