Modestly herbaceous on the finish. This is the second bottle I have purchased and tonight it seems more generic than it did last summer. Not doing it for me at over $20.

Worked great with the food. Very nice but you've had this same wine under several different names before. (2872 views) | | | Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 10/2/2013 & rated 87 points: Nose of honeydew melon, guava, some honeysuckle and just a hint of white pepper and green grass. Creamy on the body, matched with tangy acid. Whipped honey meets pineapple, but the mineral verve keeps it taut. White cherry and slight herbal notes linger onto the finish. A 100% stainless steel wine, the richness is all about the fruit, but it’s still a solid pairing for oysters.

An okay sav blanc, but nothing special. (1065 views) | | | Tasted by europat55 on 9/14/2013 & rated 86 points: Average nose (B). Average palate (B). (815 views) | | | Tasted by rjonwine@gmail.com on 8/15/2013 & rated 85 points: Pale yellow color; tart green apple nose; nondescript, tart apple, citrus palate with low acidity; medium finish 85+ points (358 views) | | | Tasted by Mrp2008 on 7/7/2013 & rated 90 points: Surprisingly difficult to discern specific fruits, high alcohol, but a nice long finish for a Sauv Blanc. Good acidity, do not drink this too cold as most tend to do. Solid 2012 release (781 views) | | | Tasted by Rwsmith5 on 7/7/2013 & rated 85 points: All fruit, no complexity. Ok summer quaff. (597 views) | | | Tasted by tantotinto on 6/18/2013 & rated 89 points: Floral, stone fruit and mineral nose. White peach, lime and herbs on the palate. Medium weight and good acidity. Definitely California in style but not over the top. Fairly priced. Would buy again. (784 views) | | | Tasted by Uglypinga on 5/22/2013: a whiff of lemongrass, lychee, and apricot stone. greatly refreshing w clean lime and lychee notes. very nice. (836 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 5/6/2013: RS driven sauvignon in that BIG Napa style. Sure, they want it to be $30 and if you drink in this style its right here. (810 views) | | | Tasted by TexasBob on 4/27/2013 & rated 84 points: Almost clear with the slight tinge of yellow. Lemon curd on the nose. Very gentle and light lemon on the immediate front palate that very quickly assaults the mid-palate with lemon curd and lemon rind that is increasingly aggressive into a very long finish. Strong mineral core and aggressive acids. A bit unbalanced and aggressive for my taste. (714 views) | | | Tasted by Shunka_Bottles on 3/3/2013 & rated 96 points: Amazing, crisp flavor.

| Round Pond Estate 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)Rutherford Rutherford,
