Availability: BCLDB stores
Cost: $18.49
Alcohol: 12%
Date Tasted: January 15th, 2017

Tasting Notes: The 2016 Sileni Sauvignon Blanc offers greater balance than recent vintages thanks to a more perceptible layer of lees and baked orchard fruit notes beneath the prominent citrus and mineral characters on the stonefruit-infused nose and textured palate. Enjoy this wine in its youth. Drink now-2019.
