Estancia Estates

1996 ESTANCIA PINNACLES Fume Blanc, Monterey County
wpe3.jpg (1244 bytes)wpe3.jpg (1244 bytes) 
Intense golden yellow hues portend what is to come in this heavily oaked California white.  Aromas of browned butter and sweet fruit abound in its huge nose, while flavors of toasted oak and vanilla dominate its flavor and finish.  This smoky Sauvignon Blanc has a round, buttery mouthfeel, moving it far away from classic Loire Valley Sancerre.  A wine with an identity crisis, Wine Enthusiast Magazine rates it a 94!  We disagree.      About $9       09/09/98
