Sauvignon Blanc

Made with grapes mostly grown in Tourraine but labelled Vin de France.  Light silvery/green in color, clear and bright.  The nose is nice.  Slightly grassy with touch of tropical fruit and minerality.  Medium bodied.  Good balance.  On the palate, the tropical fruit comes thru along with a bit of almond especially on the finish.  This drinks easily on its own and would work well with lighter foods.  It would work well with vegetarian Thai Food.

I don't recall very many, if any, Sauvignon Blancs grown in Oregon, so this was interesting.  Light silvery/gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose has Tutti Fruity Gum notes (others called it Bubble Gum) with a little bit of peach.  Slightly oily texture.  Medium bodied.  Moderate acidity.  On the palate, more Tutti Fruity Gum along with a touch of peach.  A touch of salinity.  Moderate finish.  A fun wine to stretch what a Sauvignon Blanc has to offer.  A nice starter white or to serve with a light lunch.  Perhaps with Tuna Salad.  

This is a blend of 73% Sonoma County and 27% Napa County.  Light green/gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose is nice with yellow grapefruit and guava.  Clean.  Light to medium bodied.  Nice texture.  Good balance.  On the palate, the tart grapefruit comes thru (in a good way) with a bit of guava.  Nice finish.  This drinks well on its own and will work well with lighter foods.  Fish Tacos would be a nice match.  Drink over the next few years.  

The Sauvignon Blancs from Pascal and Francois Cotat are some of the best in the world.  At age 10, this one is drinking beautifully.  Light golden in color with some green hues.  The nose is expressive with chalk, pears and hints of lemon.  Medium bodied.  Great balance.  On the palate, this seems dry (a prior bottle seemed to have a bit of residual sugar).  Plenty of pear and lemons with a slight herbal notes.  Deep and complex.  Long finish.  This should have another eight to twelve years of great drinking.  It went well with a Chopped Salad and Garlic Dressing.  

This is made from 58% Napa and 42% Lake County grapes.  It is a blend of 98% Sauvignon Blanc, 1% Semillon and 1% Muscat.  Light green/gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose is nice with slight peach, some limes and a bit of grapefruit.  Light bodied.  Nice texture.  Good balance.  On the palate, this is easy drinking with no bitterness.  Flavors of peach and grapefruit.  Nice finish.  This drinks easy on its own but is food friend with lighter foods.  It went nicely with Spanakopita.  Drink over the next year or two.  

Labeled as Sauvignon Blanc.  This is a very  nice inexpensive white wine.  Light golden in color with some green hues.  The nose is light but has some slight tropical fruits and a bit of minerality.  Light bodied.  Moderate acidity.  On the palate, this drinks easy.  Some tropical fruit.  Nothing profound here but it worked well with various apps at a party.  Drink now.  

One of the best Sauvignon Blanc vineyards in California.  Definitely a step up from the regular Bedrock Sauvignon Blanc bottling.  Green gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose  is very nice with some tropical fruit, slight citrus and some minerality.  Medium bodied.  Good balance and acidity.  Nice texture.  On the palate, this is tasty with mango, lemons and some minerality.  Depth.  Long finish.  This is delicious on its own and will work well with many foods.  This worked well with a Roasted Eggplant and Goat Cheese dish.  Drink over the next eight to twelve years.  

Wow.  One of the best Sauvignon Blancs that I have had in a long time.  Light green/gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose is great with tropical fruit (Mango?), slight grapefruit, a bit of an herbal touch, and some minerality.  Great texture.  Medium bodied.  Lively acidity.  On the palate, this is delicious.  Deep.  Flavors of mango, grapefruit  and minerals.  Long finish.  This is great on its own and very food friendly.  It would be excellent with roasted or fried chicken.  Drink over the next ten years.
