McKenna 2009 North Coast Sauvignon Blanc


This 2009 McKenna North Coast Sauvignon Blanc has aromas of citrus, apple, and tropical fruit with hints of pear and herbs. The flavors are clean and refreshing with a light body. The finish is mouth-watering, food friendly and medium length. Enjoy this wine with grilled zucchini, barbecued shellfish, Chinese take-out or lighter cheeses such as mozzarella.
