Extremely intense at nose, with hints of boxus, sage and grafite being overshadowed by a powerful fumè /oil smell.
Coherent at taste, with the fumè footprint covering all the wine's shades. Not my wine. (1184 views) | | | Tasted by PSPatrick on 3/11/2020 & rated 88 points: Retailer tasting. Citrus, gooseberry, apple, herbal spice and a whiff of smoke (imagination?), with discrete oak, a slightly creamy mouthfeel and good length. Based on personal preference, I would hold for another 3+ years. (1458 views) | | | Tasted by prasm on 2/16/2020 & rated 88 points: Pop and pour, consumed over 2 hours. Nose: Medium expressiveness, lemon peel, grape fruit, and saline. Palate: Light bodied, crisp acidity, lemon and sour apple attack, lemon butter notes, short, but satisfying finish. Simple, but tasty. (1259 views) | | | Tasted by MaJeKu on 10/12/2019 & rated 82 points: Wuchtbrumme! In der Nase erstmal total zu. Nach einer Stunde in der Karaffe kommen dann reife weiß-gelbfruchtige Noten, etwas Cassis und Stein durch. Am Gaumen recht bitter, ordentlich eingebunde Säure. Anständiger Wein, aber ich hab nach zwei Gläsern genug. (1415 views) | | | Tasted by Pbriones on 7/13/2019 & rated 85 points: Light and Crisp, green apple, citrus and grass. Solid tannins for the sav blanc. Typical, nothing special but a good effort (1432 views) | | | Tasted by Newval13 on 6/2/2019 & rated 84 points: Typical Sauvignon Blanc “cat pee” nose, but palate was fun with lots of pineapple and lime; would go great with seafood or Mexican food. (581 views) | | | Tasted by lebo9968@gmail.com on 2/23/2019 & rated 89 points: Fred Recommendation. Tasted blind:
C = very light, pale straw
N = grapefruit, flint, limestone, steely, mineral,
P = grapefruit, citrus, firm, tight structure, lemongrass. Heat on the mid-back palate, could this be high alcohol? (A = Yes!) Long palate, limestone, minerality, wet stone & tanginess on the finish.
Wine is very temperature sensitive.
N2 = lemongrass & minerality
P2 = mineral & steel & tightly integrated with grapefruit & lemongrass. Nice mouthfeel. Has a tanginess and goes well with cheese and crackers.
N = perfumey and floral and feminine at times. Goes really well with black truffle honey.
P = nice acididty and well integrated
O = 90
2/24/19 tasting:
N = softened, starting to fall apart, less vibrant
P = grapefruit, tangy, sweet tarts or smarties candy. Puckers both sides of palate. Lemongrass & minerality lessened. Better yesterday.
O = 89
Guess = 2016 french sav blanc, reminiscent of the Chateau Cruzeau we've had in the past.
Paid $13.60 at Kroger incl 20% case discount (500 views) | | | Tasted by Halfeel on 1/9/2019 & rated 91 points: Reliably tasty! (522 views) | | | Tasted by Tahlequahdave1972 on 12/21/2018 & rated 89 points: Always a quality varietal from this venerable producer, this offering was more about the fruit and texture of the wine and less about the oak. Notes of lemon, tangerine, orange peel and lime on the palate with a vibrant, medium to full mouthfeel delivered on a backbone of peppered crushed gravel and crisp acidity. Very good QPR. Consistently enjoyable year-to-year. (590 views) | | | Tasted by DSR on 11/28/2018 & rated 85 points: Tons of sulfur on initial pour - blew off a bit with time. Tangerine, grapefruit, no obvious oak notes, Dry, med body/alcohol. Short on complexity and finish. (420 views) | | | Tasted by Cuellar's Cellar on 6/21/2018 & rated 89 points: Classic Sauv blanc! Great runner wine, good fruit. Great price point.
Cheers (822 views) | | | Tasted by Cuellar's Cellar on 6/16/2018 & rated 90 points: Just a great bottle you can drink everyday! Cheers (663 views) | | | Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 4/12/2018 & rated 89 points: Light yellow color. Smells bright and lively with lemon and sea salt and white pepper, but also notes of pineapple and honey. Full-bodied and creamy texture to the palate, but the acidity is bright and crisp. Yellow apples, quince, lemon curd, the fruit is mixed with white pepper, oregano, salted almond, honey and seashells. Rich but nuanced, this is always a reliably good Napa Sauv Blanc, but 2016 is something special. Includes Semillon, this wine is all barrel fermented and aged si months in French oak. (625 views) |

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 Napa Valley Napa Valley Wineries and Wine (Napa Valley Vintners)Napa ValleySt. Helena |
