Cave B Estate Winery is located in the Ancient Lakes of Columbia Valley AVA, a region especially well-known for producing outstanding white grape varietals. Under the deft hand of winemaker Alfredo “Freddy” Arredondo (formerly a chef), Cave B’s estate-grown wines are crafted using minimalist interventionist techniques: no added enzymes, sugars or acids.
This dazzling white blend of Semillon (79%) and Sauvignon blanc (21%) was fermented in stainless steel tanks and offers up rich and refreshing purity of fruit in every sip.
Nose: The floral bouquet of honeysuckle and clover abounds with nectarine and citrus notes.
Taste: Creamy and full-bodied with complex honeyed flavors of satsuma orange, apricot and white nectarine that lead to a dry finish of lemongrass and spice.
Recommended pairing: Seared Diver scallops served with porcini mushroom crust, risotto and asparagus.
