Tasting Notes: Hardly anyone handles Sauvignon Blanc as well as Bench 1775 - a true flagship variety for the Naramata Bench winery. Though there are echos of the Loire Valley and Marlborough, this is wholly BC Sauv Blanc with layers of pungent berries, straw, citrus fruit and ripe'n'crisp orchard fruit. The well-balanced finish is tangy and refreshing with stonefruit, light spice and lingering citrus peel notes.
 To be enjoyed on its own or as a confident companion to seafood dishes. Drink now-2020.
