Nose
The 2018 Cardinale Intrada is a beautiful expression of an elegant and mature Bordeaux-style Sauvignon Blanc. Juicy and elegant, it shows a great balance of fruit with a complex and lengthy palate. Lemon blossom, vanilla and citrus aromas open to a creamy palate with flavors of Meyer lemon and fresh ginger.
