It’s a natural that New Zealand native Richard Batchelor produces one of the Pacific Northwest’s most delicious examples of Sauvignon Blanc, and he relies on Tudor Hills fruit in the Yakima Valley to get there. Enticing aromas of fresh-sliced pineapple, passion fruit and plumeria pour into a palate that is an explosive burst of kiwi, starfruit and hula berry, joined by charming levels of acidity. Qualifying awards: Cascadia International (gold), Great Northwest Wine comparative tasting (Outstanding!)
