Corvidae Wine Company ‘Wiseguy’ Sauvignon Blanc
WHY WE LOVE IT
- Corvidae is a wine brand from Owen Roe Winery. The fruit for most Corvidae wines comes from Washington’s Yakima Valley and Columbia Valley, and the brand is focused on showcasing these regions.
- Wise Guy Sauvignon Blanc is a refreshing white wine that highlights the zesty character of the varietal.
- Ideal for warm days, it pairs well with dishes or can be enjoyed on its own.
Varietal: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Tasting Notes: Aromas of grapefruit, lime, and gooseberry jump from the glass, accented by subtle notes of cut grass and tropical fruit. On the palate, bright citrus and passionfruit flavors are lifted by lively acidity, leading to a refreshing, mineral-driven finish.
