Fire Road Sauvignon Blanc 2013

90 pts Wine Enthusiest

“Winemaker Alana McGettigan is an associate of Matt Thomson (Saint Clair, Delta), so it’s no surprise this Sauvignon Blanc overdelivers. Hints of tomato leaf garnish passion fruit and citrus flavors in this wine, which reveals a certain amount of austerity and restraint on the palate, a silky texture and a long, grapefruit-driven finish.”

$11.99 / btl

Meyer Rosé of Syrah 2013

Note of vanilla and rose petals give way to homemade strawberry shortcake sprinkled in lemon zest.  This sophisticated yet easy-drinking Rose will pair effortlessly with anything from a summer barbeque to watching the sunset.
