2017 Bevan Cellars Sauvignon Blanc Dry Stack, USA, California, Napa, Wine Review

Russell Bevan makes one of the best California Sauvignon Blancs but this may be the best vintage yet. Pop and pour and this was off and running. Light golden in color, slight green. Gorgeous nose of tangerine, floral notes, slight vanilla and caramel. With air, a bit of clean pine as well. Great texture. Slightly oily, full bodied and lush. Deep and powerful. Flavors of tangerine, pine, vanilla and slight papaya. Persistent and fresh. Worked great with food. Got better with air. At around $35, this is well priced.

Light to medium golden in color. Cloudy. The nose is very pretty with pineapple, and minerals and just the slightest notes of grass. Revisiting this also has some hay. On the palate, this is delicious. A creamy texture. A perception of sweetness from the ripe tropical fruit notes. Also crisp enough served cold. Long finish. Worked well with food. One of the truly great Sauvignon Blancs from California. While it seems like it will age fine, it is so fresh and lively now, I am not sure it gets better, just different, I would (and I did), drink these sooner than later.

Light golden in color. The nose is quiet at first but opens to nice grapefruit notes. Very fresh on the nose. The grapefruit continues to the palate which is both wide and deep. Good acidity. Worked well with food and on its own. Very tasty. Long finish. No green or grass here. At around $35, this is very fairly priced.

Year in and year out this is one of the best Sauvignon Blancs made in California. Given the quality, the price is reasonable as well. Light golden in color.

A delightful Sauvignon Blanc from this top Red Wine producer. Green/gold in color. A bit cloudy. Great nose of grapefruits, spice and lemons. Medium bodied. On the palate, grapefruit with a slight minty note. Good acidity. Dry. This drinks great young but will certainly age for five to seven years. Great on its own. A nice pairing with lighter salads and veggie dishes.
