2022 1000 Stories Sauvignon Blanc, USA, California, Wine Review

This is a producer who mostly make Bourbon Barrel Aged wines, but this one is made in Stainless Steel tanks. Light silvery/green/gold in color. Clear and Bright. The nose has slight pineapple along with a touch of grassiness. Light bodied, slightly oily texture. On the palate, the pineapple is a bit more pronounced. This is refreshing and easy drinking. Drink over the next year. Nice on its own, this will work with lighter foods. It would be a nice wine with an Avocado 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.

Screw capped. Pale silvery/green/gold in color. The nose is a mythical combination of New Zealand and old school California. That is to say, lots of tropical fruits (guava and pineapple) and also a grassiness to it. Very pleasant and easy. On the palate, this is medium bodied. The tropical fruit carries thru. Nice acidity to counter. Dry. Slightly oily texture (a good thing). Long finish. This is an easy drinking wine, but has some depth. Works with lighter and medium bodied foods. It probably won't get better but should drink well for a few years. Available at Nakedwines.com.

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.

Made with Estate grown fruit. Light green/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with limes, green apples and a touch of lemon. Medium bodied. Nicely balanced. Refreshing. On the palate, limes are the forefront with a touch of lemons on the finish. This is easy drinking but has some substance. It drinks well on its own and will work well with lighter foods. A nice summer lunch wine. Drink over the next couple of years although it is a bit past prime already.
