Council's Punch Bowl Sauvignon Blanc Okanagan Valley BC VQA
History: This lake was discovered by Alexander Caulfield Anderson of the Hudson's Bay Company in 1846 while searching for a route to the interior from the coast.
Tasting Notes: Our 2007 Sauvignon Blanc is refreshing and delicious! Bright and ripe fruit with citrus character mingles nicely with grassy herbaciousness. The wine has a nice zippy fresh and dry finish.
Food Pairing Notes: Pairs nicely with local cuisine; fresh seafood, smoked salmon, and creamy goat's milk cheeses are ideal matches for the wine's fresh tropical notes. Art Details: Artist: Gail Werschler | Bio

- "The Sauvignon Blanc is lush and vibrant with pineapple, lime, grass, peach hints, snap peas, lemon cream and mineral aromas. On the palate it shows clean, mouth-watering flavours of lemongrass, mandarin zest and a gentle brush of spice. A nicely rounded Sauvignon Blanc with plenty of juicy flavours rather than steely minerality and greenery."
