Grover Zampa La Reserve Fumé Blanc

It's a French custom from Pouilly to put "Fumé" on the label of minerally, slightly smoky Sauvignon Blanc: Pouilly-Fumé. It means "smoked." In recent years, we've seen all sorts of winemakers write "Fumé" on the label to warn us that their Sauvignon has undergone a generous dose of oak aging. Even as far away as India.

The oak aging of this Sauvignon is clearly evident in the aromas of vanilla, toast, mint, banana, and guava. It's slightly creamy on the palate. Full and fleshy, with delicate peach and pineapple fruit. Quite special.
