Maximus 2009 White Feasting Wine
This highly anticipated new release from Bennett Lane Winery is our white wine partner to our proprietary blend, Maximus. This Napa Valley white wine is a blend of 87% Sauvignon Blanc, 11% Chardonnay, and 2% Muscat.

With aromatic notes of white peach, papaya and orange blossom, this incredible white wine displays flavors of mandarin oranges, mango and nectarine.  The body is crisp and elegant, with layers of fruit and a clean refreshing finish.  This is the perfect wine for summer.

2005 Maximus White Feasting Wine scored 90 Points in Wine Spectator
A classy effort, ripe and refreshing, with creamy vibrant Meyer lemon, citrus, tangerine and nectarine flavors shaded by a hint of Key lime. Delicate and elegant, the finish goes on and on. Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Muscat. - J.L.
