Lemon and grapefruit nose. Medium bodied, lemon rind, decent acid, almond, and a tangy medium to long finish. Not showing its age at all. (933 views) | | | Tasted by Kirky on 3/12/2015 & rated 91 points: Hanging in strong. I'd drink this sooner than later. Very good aged sauvignon blanc (1573 views) | | | Tasted by The Drunken Cyclist on 8/3/2014: At last, some Bordeaux style Sauvignon Blanc. I tend to agree with Bill Eyer, of Cuvee Corner, who said in a recent interview on Snooth: most new world Sauvignon Blanc has “too much over the top freshly cut grass [and is] overly citrus-y…”The ’09 nose requires a bit of patience–it does not leap out–eventually some lemon curd and minerality poke through. On the palate the acidity is subtle and in line with the fruit. This wine is doing fine and has some time to go. Very Good. thedrunkencyclist.com (1274 views) | | | Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 4/24/2014 & rated 90 points: Blind California Whites (My Place - Washington, DC): Clean lemon color. Green melon, lime and sea breeze on the nose, a bit of white pepper and floral notes. Crisp and tangy throughout, I get themes of lime, honeydew melon, white peach, but also underlying spice and sea brine notes, which I like. A lot of depth to this wine, equal parts creamy fruit and live-wire acid and minerals. Complex, and very delicious, begging for oysters, salads, goat cheese. I was surprised to see it’s a 2009 because, if anything, I thought this could stand a year or two. Impressive stuff, that’s for sure.

Notes of unripe green kiwi, white grapefruit, herbs, lemongrass, smoke, oak. Outstanding. THIRD PLACE tonight. (2488 views) | | | Tasted by StainedGlass on 7/15/2011 & rated 84 points: Good, but a rather subdued Califonria SB; not a lot of acid to give this wine the backbone and interest I prefer.

Not amazing but very good. (1605 views) | | | Tasted by subtlet on 6/25/2010 & rated 82 points: Wine Blogger's Conference 2010 - White Wine Live Blogging (Wine Blogger's Conference, Walla Walla, Washington): Pears, light yellow cake, and a bit of smoke show on the nose. This wine has a thick texture, and mid strength acidity that sticks around for a while. Some pear flavors show, but there isn't a whole lot of fruit. The heavy texture persists through the finish. (2238 views) | | | Tasted by KeithAkers on 5/3/2010 & rated 89 points: 3rd Annual Expedition Wines American Homegrown tasting (Webster's Wine Bar, Chicago IL): nose: aromatic and fresh nose of white fruits, mineral tones, lemon peels and bits of melons
taste: pretty lighter feel with medium/high acidity and fresh tones of whtie fruits, citrus tones, minerals, and some bits of lemon peels
overall: there wasn't much depth to the tones, but this was an enjoyable sauvignon blanc (1733 views) |

| Cornerstone Cellars 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 CountySonoma Coast * Sonoma Coast AVA (Wikipedia)
