Bowhead Columbia Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2019

Sauvignon Blanc’s spiritual home may be Sancerre in France’s Loire Valley, but thanks to intrepid winemakers (and a growing worldwide thirst for refreshing whites), it’s become a superstar in many New World countries, such as New Zealand, Chile, and the United States. Here it makes vibrant, dry wines bursting with aromas and flavors of citrus and green fruits.

This NEW exclusive makes a delicious case for Washington State Sauvignon Blanc—especially since it picked up a bronze medal at the San Francisco International Wine Competition. Named after the Arctic whales that can sometimes be spotted along Washington’s Pacific Coast, Bowhead brings together two of the state’s historic industries: whaling and wine.

The Columbia Valley is Washington’s largest (and most prized) wine appellation. With its low rainfall and temperature variations (cold nights and warm, sunny days), it’s ideal for producing wines that offer bold-yet-balanced fruit flavors. In fact, the Columbia Valley shares its latitude with France’s famed Bordeaux region—so it may come as no surprise that it yields such top-quality wines.

Look forward to lovely honeysuckle, green grape and lemon aromas and flavors. Enjoy a well-chilled glass of this fine exclusive on its own or alongside appetizers. We recommend a platter of creamy goat cheese (Sauvignon’s classic match), cured meats and olives. For the main course, try grilled fish or white meats, perhaps drizzled in a lemony sauce to play up the wine’s citrus notes.
