Mission Briefing
Land of Plenty
Today’s Eco Terreno 2010 Alexander Valley Sauvignon Blanc is a bright, lively wine that had our tasting panel marveling at its friendly approachability and subtle complexity.
Eco Terreno is a new winery for us, and we are so happy to have found them. This Sauv Blanc is both savory and creamy, which is influenced by the wonderful oak regiment on the wine.
