2022 Desire Lines Sauvignon Blanc Kick Ranch, USA, California, Sonoma, Fountain Grove District, Wine review

First time trying this winery. Tasted over two days, it was significantly more open (and better) on day 2. Light golden in color, clear and bright. Lemons, floral notes, citrus and herbs. Medium bodied. Some minerality. Moderate acidity. On the palate, lemons with slight orange and a slight minerals note. Good finish. As Sauvignon Blancs go, this is heavy and present. Not a light, easy going aperitif. Good on its own, this would be better with some food. It would be nice with Tuna Steak with a Chimichurri Sauce. Drink over the next five to seven years.

Bedrock makes some of the best values in California wines. Sometimes it seems though that the whites don't get the attention. This is an excellent Sauvignon Blanc and great value. Light gold with some green hues in color, clear and bright. The nose is clean with good minerality along with a bit of lemon. Medium bodied. Nice texture. Good acidity. On the palate, this is crisp with minerality and citrus. Long finish. This is great on its own and will work with many foods. It would be great with Tuna Salad.

Oberon is a project by the Michael Mondavi family making quality wines from California. The winemaker is long time industry veteran Tony Coltrin. This is a reasonably priced Sauvignon Blanc that tries to forge its own identity from a grape that can be very distinctive depending on where it was grown and made. It is light green in color with a bit of silvery/gold hues. Clear and bright. The nose has a nice minerality, slight tropical fruit and even slighter grassiness. Slightly oily texture. Good balance. On the palate, the minerality dominates.

This is one of the best Sauvignon Blancs made in Napa. Luckily, the grapes for this were made before the smoke from the fires tainted the grapes. In fact, this may be the best Soliloquy yet! It is a blend based on their proprietary clone of Sauvignon Blanc with some Chardonnay and Malvasia. Silvery green-gold in color, clear and bright. A very expressive nose. Slightly grassy with spice and a ton of tropical fruits (papaya, guava, some pineapple), and some orange zest. Light to medium bodied. Smooth and silky texture. Good acidity. On the palate, plenty of grapefruit, a slight cha
