WOW: Smooth Operator, Roblar Sauvignon Blanc 2010

WOW: Wine(s) of the Week


Smooth Operator: Roblar Sauvignon Blanc 2010

Roblar Sauvignon Blanc 2010
North Carolina and Loyal Uncorked Clients, please welcome Roblar Winery to our family!

Roblar Winery has recently increased distribution into North Carolina and Uncorked had the distinct pleasure of tasting this gem just last week!

This is no ordinary Sauvignon Blanc, do not be fooled by its crisp packaging and aromas.  While this wine sees all stainless steel, it also incorporates aging sur lie.

What can you expect from the sur lie aging?  Wonderful nutty overtones and a Sauvignon Blanc that is not remotely acidic nor overwhelmingly mineral.

New to the market and new to you...try this Sauvignon Blanc today.  It is the perfect accompaniment to hot August days and ushering in fall.  AND, priced at under $15 per bottle, this will certainly become a new favorite.

Product Description

"Roblar Winery and Estate Vineyards is a special place.  Located in Santa Ynez Valley in the heart of Santa Barbara County.   Our wines reflect the diversity of Santa Ynez Valley, with an east-west transverse range that allows the Pacific Ocean a significant influence with near-daily fog and crisp ocean breezes.  This cooler climate leads to wines with firm structure, plenty of secondary flavors, and great potential for aging." - Winery Notes.

Roblar Sauvignon Blanc 2010 Tasting Notes

Aromatics of pear and honeydew, fruit flavors of Asian pear and melon on a balanced grassy-earthy mid-palate with minerality, citrus and butterscotch on a lingering finish.
