Addax
Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc
Sonoma County, California, USA
It's no secret that I'm a big Addax fan. I think their Sauv Blanc is my favorite in all of Napa Valley. That said, I normally drink the '14 SB...it's unfiltered and unfined and made by Bevan, and I personally think it's better than Bevan's Dry Stack. That being said, Bevan started making wine for Addax around '11 or '12, and prior to that, it was Luc Morlet. So, this is Luc's expression of SB. Still cloudy, but not as much as Bevan's take. Nose is extremely similar which is awesome for a 2010. White flowers and stone fruit on the nose. Lighter than the '14. Tart nectarine notes on the front and mid palate, but a savory and crisp/graphite finish on the end. It's 97 degrees in TX, so give me the chilled stuff!

Yes 2010 SB - darker gold color with subtle white summer stone fruit. This wine, which has 20% Semilion gives it a creamy honey finish. Having it with grilled quesadilla. Mama Mia beautiful!! Welcome to Independence Day weekend!!! Thank you Luke M for this treat. Russel B took over winemaking a few years later
