| Community Tasting Notes (average 88.3 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 7 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Pressed for Wine on 4/30/2013 & rated 90 points: This wine smells like fresh melons and apricots. This is a classic sonoma sauvignon blanc. It tastes of grapefruit and other citrus. Its finish is tart and crisp. (1524 views) | | | Tasted by yofog on 4/18/2013 & rated 86 points: Nice. Has some cool climate notes but not over the top, and I like that they're using some neutral oak (20%). Well done. (1381 views) | | | Tasted by Fateful Destiny on 3/7/2013 & rated 90 points: This is a good bottle of SB. Has cool climate characteristics of grass and gooseberry (if you like that style) and is enjoyable for the price. (1347 views) |
| Quivira Producer websiteSauvignon Blanc Varietal CharacterUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Sonoma CountyMendocino CountyDry Creek Valley Winegrowers of Dry Creek Valley | Dry Creek Valley Association | Appellation America | San Francisco Chronicle Article |
