2019 Bonterra Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc, USA, California, Wine Review

This was tasted from a 1.5 liter box. While boxed wines tend not to be the most expensive wines, the box is actually a wonderful method for enjoying wines. It keeps the oxygen out and the wines in excellent condition. Silvery green/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose has peaches, limes and minerals. On the palate, this is crisp and clean. Limes and melon with a slight minty note and underlying minerals. Sort finish. This is drinking well on opening. In the box format, one could leave this in the fridge and have a glass or two a day for a couple three weeks with no degradation in quality. This drinks great on its own and will work with lighter salads and foods.

2018 Flora Springs Sauvignon Blanc Soliloquy, USA, California, Napa, Wine Review

This is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc (44%), Chardonnay (41%), Malvasia (10%), and Pinot Gris(5%). The name comes from a proprietary clone of Sauvignon Blanc that Flora Springs utilizes in the Crossroads vineyard. It is an interesting white that really needs some air when opening. Silvery/green in color with pale yellow/gold. On opening the oak is dominant and that did not work well. Of course, this is just being released and that will cure itself. In any event, patience is rewarded. After about an hour of breathing the tropical fruit came out. A slight bit of grassiness, in a good wa

Robert Mondavi long ago started calling his Sauvignon Blanc as Fume Blanc, but it is the same wine. This is always a quality Sauvignon Blanc for a fair price. This is actually 87% Sauvignon Blanc and 13% Semillon. Pale golden in color with some green and copper hues to it. Clear and bright. The nose is pretty with oranges, limes, minerals and with air, a bit of dust and mint. This has a rich, creamy texture that gives it a presence that most Sauvignon Blancs don't have On the palate, there is lemon-lime, melon and a quality that is sort of like mint tooth paste (in a good way). Very

Another winner from this stalwart Napa producer. White gold/silvery in color. The nose has seltzer, minerality, pears and white floral notes. Pretty. Medium bodied. On the palate there is a sort of copper minerality that is very interesting along with the more usual notes of lemon peel, and melon. Good acidity. Fresh. Long finish. This is delicious and refreshing on its own but would work great with chicken salad or other lighter fare/salads. Best to drink in the next few years to enjoy the vibrancy.
