Sauvignon Blanc, Lake County style. It does not take much imagination to view these Sauvignon Blanc vines across the sun draped slopes around Mt Konocti. Much like the offerings from Napa Valley, this Sauvignon Blanc has a bit of structure and depth. There is the typical aromas and flavors of lime, grass, gooseberry and apple, with some tangerine and nectarine. Probably has received some lees treatment. Appropriate, civilized acidity. By the time we get to the finish, some softer flavors like melon and ripe pear help smooth thing out.

Marlborough NZ-like California Sauvignon Blanc. Herbaceous, new mown hay, grapefruit nose; tight; good acids; long, crisp finish. w/appetizers, cheeses.

Nose full of grass and some lime. Maybe some hidden green apples in there. Good acidity with a short finish. Not my favorite but bought at half off.
