Abbeyville Napa Valley Fume Blanc 2009

What a refreshing Sauvignon Blanc.Unlike all too many modern day Sauvignon Blanc wines, Abbeyville Fume Blanc does not overwhelm you with grapefruit and musk. Instead, the nose is dominated by pear, with melon, pear, and a little citrus on the palate.
It is on the lighter side, but that's part of what makes it so refreshing. This is a great summertime picnic wine, but would also do very well as part of a cocktail party, or with a light meal such as a salad or sandwich. And at only $10, it's a good value.

Recommended.
