Tasted Saturday, August 15, 2009 by jasonh with 702 views
Great to have a chance to taste these especially prior to the SVs going on sale. Big thanks to Michael and Shane for coming down and sharing their enthusiasm for the wines. It is very clear they are achieving their goal with these 07s. It seems like the 07s hit the place of big clean ripe fruit while not getting heavy or sloppy on the palate. This is not my preferred style on most nights but when I want it, this is what I am looking for. The main thing is that the mid palate does not get too round and for the most part the finish went on long with nice acid.
I'll get my thoughts on the Shane wines later today.
2008 Merry Edwards Sauvignon Blanc
USA, California, Sonoma County, Russian River Valley
I hear this got a very big score, and I would have to agree. I really liked this. Fairly rich for an SB which made it a very easy drink. Has impressive complexity.
