| Community Tasting Notes (average 86.7 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 12 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Sijan on 9/5/2015 & rated 84 points: Rather watery & unremarkable. Less acid than the 2011 Linden Avenius SB, which we tasted side-by-side.
We preferred the 2008 SBs from both wineries, which we tasted later that same day.

Aromas of lemon, sage, grass and grapefruit. The wine is so pungent it almost smells like arugula. Val said it smells like "a cat peeing on grass," while J described it as smelling like "bleu cheese under a Frenchman's arpit in August." The palate is too sweet for my taste, bursting with lime and sweet tarts. The grass and onion flavors are too pungent and powerful. This just ain't my cup of sauvignon blanc.

| Sauvignon 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.Virginia Virginia Wines (Virginia Wineries Association)Shenandoah Valley On weinlagen-infoShenandoah Valley On weinlagen-info |
