It’s not often that I get excited by California Sauvignon Blanc, but this one is full of character & worth going out of your way for. From one of the oldest sauv blanc vineyards in the state (dry-farmed, organic) on Sonoma Mountain. Heavy on the orchard fruit: green apple, pear, with some Meyer lemon and a touch of green papaya and lemongrass. Neutral oak elevage softens the rough edges. Great food pairing wine - though would expect no less from chefs-turned-winemakers. I really like what these guys are doing at MDC.

@Delectable Wine not the Reserve skin contact version but the standard SB (but the orange version is also excellent) — 3 years ago

This is actually the jalapeño apple wine but it wasn’t on here. Nice light white wine. Slightly sweet with a bit of warmth and aftertaste from the jalapeño — 5 years ago

Very pleasant, if a bit unusual for the venerable Argentine producer: straw colored w/big time aromas of white flowers, tropical fruit, orchard fruit, bit leesy & waxy. Med bodied, oily, sluggish acidity, but flavors reflected nose, went down easy — a year ago

Wasn’t expecting much from a six year old bottle of Canadian Pinot Blanc that was lost in the cellar. Very fresh. Bright orchard fruits. Balanced by good acidity. Nice food wine — 4 years ago

More savory than sweet, the 2021 Sylvaner lifts up with a cascade of dried flowers and gingery spice offset by a cooling air of dusty stone. Like tapping a mountain spring, this flows across the palate with a mineral-laden blend of crisp orchard fruit and citrus lifted by cooling acidity. The 2021 takes on a tropical air through the finish yet is tart, puckering the cheeks with residual tension as pretty inner florals and young kiwi echo throughout. This is a gorgeous style of Nossing’s Sylvaner. (Eric Guido, Vinous, May 2023) — 2 years ago

I love this wine. Subtle nose, generous texture, incredibly refreshing. Aromas of cherry blossom, kaffir lime, citrus, and spearmint. Palate shows a touch of leesy goodness backed by riper orchard fruit. Then this wine moves to something that is reminiscent of cool mountain streams running over wet stones and is so cleansing on the palate. — 5 years ago
