Balletto Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2017 Review
From the foggy air of the Russian River Valley comes this true Cali Savi B. This wine has loads of tropical fruit balanced by great acidity which gives it a nice broad palate that is toothsome. There is a savory character to this wine, countered by some tartness which keeps the wine in the right spot. It's a great food wine.
