Courtney Benham Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2005
Courtney Benham This crisp, tangy wine is 70% cool fermentaion in stainless steel tanks to preserve fresh fruit aromas and 30% aged in French oak barrels. Inviting tropical aromas of honeydew melon and grapefruit with light grassy overtones. Rich flavors of melon, tangy grapefruit and pineapple continue in this wine. This smooth, full wine has an ample palate with lingering bright flavors of refreshing fruit. Wine Spectator Spicy ginger, floral and honeysuckle aromas carry over to the palate in a smooth, caressing style, ending on a delicate note. Drink now. Score: 88. —James Laube, 2006.Wine Enthusiast Good price for a Napa Valley wine of this quality. Crisp and fruity, the wine is slightly oaked, and shows forward, ripe flavors of fresh green grapes, apples and pineapples. Contains a little Chardonnay and Columbard. Score: 85. —Steve Heimoff, December 15, 2006.All sizes are 750mL unless otherwise noted.
