Description
The Wine: The Carica 2006 Sauvignon Blanc is a blend of 60% Sauvignon Blanc and 40% Sauvignon Musque, and made in a classic style like the great wines of Pouilly Fumé and Sancerre. With clean, tropical flavors and crisp acidity, Carica Sauvignon Blanc opens with floral notes and aromas of pineapple, grapefruit and gooseberry with a hint of toasty oak. Tasting of guava, fig and passion fruit, this wine has a prolonged, refreshing lime accented finish. Perfect with salads and lighter fare such as poultry, shellfish and other seafood, because of its intensity and clean finish this wine will also pair well with richer, cream based preparations.

The Reviews: Wine Spectator 90 points “Vibrant and delicious, with concentrated ripe flavors of peach, apricot, mango, spice and a squirt of fresh lime juice. Intensed and focused, with flavors getting an extra push on the finish.” Recommended as one of California’s Top Ten Sauvignon Blancs – WS August 31, 2008
Wine Enthusiast 90 points: This lovely, single-vineyard Sauvignon Blanc showcases bright, ripe fruit with crisp acidity, and manages to finish dry. It’s creamy textured, packed with lemon, lime and pink grapefruit flavors, and richer notes of melons, figs, wild honey, vanilla and smoke.”
