Over the weekend, we had the opportunity to visit family a couple of hours away. During the afternoon we opened a bottle of Wildhurst Vineyards 2008 Sauvignon Blanc and enjoyed it with appetizers. Everyone remarked how good this wine was with its layers of fruit. The aroma was bold and fruity with orange blossom and peach nuances. There was also a hint of minerality. The taste was like a tropical fruit salad with layers of fruit notes.  The finish was crisp and fruity.

This wine was in a gift basket from the Lake County Wine Commission. Back at home I decided to check on the Wildhurst website and discovered that the wine is available for $12 and that seems to be a great deal for such a good wine. I may just want to check out other wines by Wildhurst.  The winery is located in the increasingly popular Lake County area of California-just north of Napa Valley. For more information, check out the Wildhurst website.
