Tangent 2009 Sauvignon Blanc

Both of Tangent’s estate vineyards, Paragon and Firepeak, have earned the Sustainability in Practice™ (SIP™) Vineyard Certification. Farmed by our Pacific Vineyard Company, we have owned these vineyards since Jack Niven, the winegrape planting pioneer of the Niven family, began planting them in the early 1970s. Certification of these vineyards proves our collective commitment to environmental stewardship, economic viability, and equitable treatment of employees. A project of the Central Coast Vineyard Team, SIP ™ provides a comprehensive and verifiable method to authenticate a vineyard’s attention to integrated farming practices.

Review

On the nose, citrusy elements combine with tart pineapple. The palate is crisp, with a fresh zip of acidity that complements flavors of lemon, lime, and bright tropical fruit. In it’s price range, it’s a fine value.
