  Have drank Kenwood SB in sane family settings since I was 17. It was a quintessential Sonoma white wine in my innocent eyes and palate. But in my USA travels , I always found it again over the years. An odd pure yellow color that lacks viscosity and tention at 14.1 abv. Aromas of yellow and Fugi apples, a touch of Asian pear but that’s about it. Similar limited flavors with the SB leaving SB land with a flabby acidity and character. Kenwood now sources 1/2 this lot from Lake County, which has not panned out as many like Kendall Jackson thought it would for premium varietal wine. Having experienced summer days and nights at Clear Lake at 118 F , I understand where all the Acid and Flavor went…. Into the hot breezes. Drinkable but completely uninteresting , sorry Kenwood but I’m Driving back to the Beltane Ranch. You deserve better.

  Nothing at all wrong with this very good QPR Sauvignon Blanc from Kenwood.

  I used to drink this wine in the '80's, and had not tried it in decades. I needed to fill out a case for shipping, and happy I chose this one. Great fruit. Nice acid. Definitely will buy again in the future. Good QPR at $11.
