Nº 16

White Bordeaux Blend
SKU: JWH16223

Vivacous lighter more refreshing wines may be sparkling, white or rosé, and also may be sweet or dry. However, all are on the brighter and tangier end of the flavor spectrum and will never feature oaky flavors.

FOOD PAIRING: Flattering with almost EVERYTHING, but best for RAW & COLD FOODS, LOW-FAT FOODS & SPICY FOODS.

Tasting Notes
Appearance: 

Our N°16 brings together a blend of two vineyards in Rutherford and the southern Napa Valley. What The Number 16 Signifies: Jean-Charles grew up in Burgundy, France and at the age of 16 he visited the Bordeaux region for the first time. He forever remembers his first taste of the crisp white wine blends and it inspired the creation of N° 16, an extraordinary Napa Valley blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon.
