| Community Tasting Notes (average 87 pts. and median of 87 pts. in 3 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Vietty on 3/13/2017: An average Northern California Sauvignon Blanc that shouldn't offend anyone's palate but has not special distinctive qualities either. I admit, I've been drinking more Malborough/New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc lately and I missed the zippy acidity in this wine. (771 views) | | | Tasted by CJM on 6/5/2016 & rated 85 points: Clear, very pale straw. Lemongrass, straw, green apple. Medium to high acids, no tannins, not sweet. Lemon curd. Short slightly acidic finish. Glass at Linda Blairs. (643 views) | | | Tasted by La Cave d'Argent on 2/24/2016 & rated 89 points: Pale yellow/green and packed with lemongrass, melon and citrus, this light-bodied, crisply acidic, seamlessly alcoholic (13.5%) wine is just what the doctor ordered as an accompaniment to salade niçoise on a warm Southern California evening. Persisting nicely in the middle and closing with a floral, medium length finish, this is a quality Sauvignon Blanc worthy of its sticker. Drink now-2017. (936 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 |
