Mondavi 2000 Fume Blanc

[Kcwhippet]

Found this - it may help some to explain.
"Robert Mondavi coined the name Fumé Blanc during the late 1960's in order to change the perception of this variety, which was thought of as semisweet and without much freshness and complexity. This name was derived from Blanc Fumé, the name used for Sauvignon Blanc in the village of Pouilly-sur-Loire in the Sancerre region, whose wines are marketed as Pouilly-Fumé and Sancerre. This "White Smoke" describes the smoky style that is a result of French oak/barrel aging."
