Mercer Estates
Sauvignon Blanc
Yakima Valley, Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
The wine has a faint yellow tint and a nose that's more savory than grassy. A lanolin notes masks the grapefruit and lemon aromas, but does not hide them. The palate offers more fruit, but a nice mineral-based salinity sails ahead of it. There's plenty of acidity here and a lengthy finish of Meyer lemon.

A superlative SB, this wine strikes a perfect balance between creaminess and citric tang, while still being light bodied enough to pair with almost anything.

Pale yellow. There’s a ton of passion fruit on the nose, followed by aromas of grapefruit, lychee nuts, oranges, hay, and almonds. It has some weight on its body with an astringent mouthfeel and harsh acidity. There’s flavors of green peppers, celery, grapefruit and lime. It finishes with lime, celery, and again that harsh acidity. It’s good, not great, Sauvignon Blanc for the price.
