About This Wine


Fifth Note Cellars

Sauvignon Blanc - Sémillon

Fifth Note Cellars blends are crafted from specific varietals and regions to enhance the flavors, spices, sauces, and herbs in your favorite recipe or next meal. A beautiful blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, this wine features classic Sauvignon Blanc notes like aromatic citrus and round fruit flavors like passion fruit and papaya. The addition of Sémillon, which is primarily known as a blending grape, adds a weighty texture with flavors of pear and white peach. The combination provides mouth-watering acidity that gives way to a rounded long and lingering finish. Judges love it too! It took home 90 points and a Gold Medal from the 2020 Winemaker Challenge and a Gold Medal from the 2020 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition.

Wine Region


California

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
