| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.5 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by gavinesq on 8/16/2012 & rated 91 points: A little floral, a little mineral up front, with a subdued but zippy hum of acid. With a little aeration on the palate it opens up beautifully with melon and tropical fruit and has character consistent with stainless steel fermentation, which I appreciate greatly. She's a beauty.

It felt crisp and refreshing. This is an excellent Sauvignon Blanc, and one of the wines that made me sign up as a member at Goosecross when I tasted at the winery.

Balanced acid-wise and very tasty, especially on a warm pre-summer day, straight out of the fridge. (2576 views) | | | Tasted by DCT on 2/1/2011: Suggestion to notes from rentmp3: The 2009 Goosecross Cellars Sauvignon Blanc was 100% stainless steel with no oak application. Disclosure: I am the owner of Goosecross Cellars. I never comment on the wine tasting experience of the individual and sincerely respect all reviews. I only comment when there is a technical detail that should be noted. (2606 views) | | | Tasted by rentmp3 on 1/31/2011 & rated 86 points: Trip to Napa Valley; 1/30/2011-1/31/2011 (Napa, CA): On the nose, tropical fruits and pineapples. On the palate, lemons, peaches, good acidity, a little heat and oak on the finish. Disappointingly, a little hollow on the mid-palate. (3761 views) |
| Goosecross 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 North CoastThe North Coast American Viticultural Area (AVA) in California, covering more than three million acres, includes Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino and Lake counties, and portions of Marin and Solano counties.
