 Tasted by lucnapo@gmail.com on 1/8/2022: Bue, fumé. (507 views)
 Tasted by trastevere on 2/14/2021 & rated 90 points: Nice aromatic nose, with honeysuckle and green leaf. Punchy intense fruit, giving some tropical fruits and lemon, with a clean herby midpalate and a fresh long mouthwatering finish. (697 views)
 Tasted by Alykhan V on 9/29/2019 & rated 91 points: Typical Fume blanc

Aromas of peach, apricot, ripe fruit, fresh lime, juniper, oak spice, green herbaceouness. Aromas of petrol suggest some Semillon in the blend. A very complex nose.

A richer palate, chewy, with moderate acidity, high alcohol, good weight, good length. (996 views)
 Tasted by Baron Slick on 9/3/2019 & rated 90 points: Well made wine. Guava, grass, and tomcat aromas open to a crisp, strident, and tensile mouthful of limes, citrus zest, stone fruit, and ginger flavors. (962 views)
 Tasted by Tahlequahdave1972 on 3/4/2019 & rated 89 points: This expression of sauvignon blanc, with the hint of oak, continues to be a staple for my weekday drinkers. Nice aromas of fresh cut flowers leads to flavors of tangerine, peach, lemon zest and river rock. Medium full bodied and crisp acidity with just a hint of spice on the finish. Delicious! (1126 views)
 Tasted by Double-A on 11/26/2018 & rated 88 points: Guava jelly on toast.

Sauvignon Blanc

Varietal Character

USA

American 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.

California

2021 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
