The Sauvignon Blanc Trip

An introductory sauvignon blanc tasting

• 2007 Kenwood Sauvignon Blanc

  USA, California, Sonoma County

  always a safe choice, while there isn't much personality, the citrus flavors are balanced with nice acidity, refreshing, some mineral on the finish, light

• 2008 MAN Vintners Sauvignon Blanc

  South Africa, Coastal Region

  very grassy on the nose, wild, floral palate, with band-aid on the finish, interesting personality but a turn off to most, cheap

  expressive grapefruit and herbal nose, flowers too, refreshing grassy palate, perfect acid, citrus tones, mineral finish, excellent, crowd pleaser

• 2006 Regis Minet Pouilly-Fumé Vieilles Vignes

  France, Loire Valley, Upper Loire, Pouilly-Fumé

  really a SB to pay close attention to to pick up the details, smoke on the nose, fireworks, mossy, the palate is complete with pear, peaches, Fuji apple, supple body

• 2007 Lapostolle Sauvignon Blanc

  Chile, Rapel Valley

  detectable alcohol on the nose, but picks up some pear and melon scents too, bold styled SB, with sharp acid and charismatic spice hints, made in a love or hate style

• 2007 Merry Edwards Sauvignon Blanc

  USA, California, Sonoma County, Russian River Valley

  vanilla on the nose, oaked and proud to express it, creamy orange, wood, apricots, apple, and lemon meringue pie on the endless finish, beautiful body, easily could pass for a California Chardonnay, I can see why the press loves this one, crowd pleaser

• 2002 Robert Mondavi Winery Fumé Blanc Reserve To-Kalon Vineyard

  USA, California, Napa Valley

  huge nose of pound cake, rich, expressing mango, papaya, lemon, orange, stony finish, length on the palate, still drinking well and will continue to for a few more years, really a passed-by gem of a wine, rich but not sweet at all
