Rudd Crossroads Sauvignon Blanc 23

The 2023 Crossroads Sauvignon Blanc is vibrant with a silvery pale-yellow color. Bright and intoxicating aromas leap from the glass with a refreshing bouquet of fresh watercress, bracing lemon verbena, and vibrant Meyer lemon. Subtle hints of fennel seed spice add a delicate nuance to the freshly picked apricot and summer melon notes, lending to a sweet and generous undertone. Similar to the nose, the freshness translated to the palate with zesty acidity taking center stage, evoking yellow grapefruit and crisp green pear. The palate continues to reveal a round and present mid-palate of luscious kiwi and refreshing green apple, balancing the vibrancy. The length is elongated by a velvety texture woven through the lift at the finish, leaving a lingering impression of balance and satisfaction.
