Cadaretta SBS Columbia Valley 2007

Almost completely clear. Nose is marked by pretty spices, light apple, mineral, and a touch of white grapefruit. An engaging texture with piquant acidity. A touch of tropical fruit. Very enjoyable. 73% Sauvignon Blanc (Spring Creek Vineyard, Yakima Valley; Arete Vineyard, Columbia Valley); 27% Semillon (Arete Vineyard). 702 cases produced.
