Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc
Sonoma County, California, USA
Here's my pick for Sauv Blanc of the year! Gorgeous juice. Straw colored in the glass. The nose has a rockin bouquet of peach and kiwi juice. On the tongue is ripe nectarine, crushed white flowers on graphite. Hint of tart. Love the small percentage of Semillon blended in. Hats off to the power duo of Russell Bevan and Josh Peeples.

Nov 12th, 2016Without a doubt, this was the best time to drink this wine. A very tropical nose, with hints of mango and melon and candied walnut. The entry did not seem to have as much citrus influence as the nose did. However, this wine has not lost very much despite the 2014 label might suggest. This was surprisingly crisp. More to the mango and honeydew side. I had mentioned a tart note at the last entry, which was all but gone this time around. LOTS of floaters in the bottle. Finished very strong, and actually wishing I had a few more of these, as I don't really see this one going anywhere for the next two or three years. Solid bottle. Outdid a Bevan labeled 2014 that it was enjoyed right beside which already has lost a step IMO.

Jun 22nd, 2019TART Sauv Blanc. WOW. Makes your lips pucker. This one pours with a little bit of cloudiness to it. The nose would make this one indicate that this is a sweet, fruit crush even flinty kind of wine. The palate immediately hits you with a tangerine rind that just never lets go. Finishes with a nice acidity. This one would go really well with fruit salad and some lemon parmesan fish. Finishes again with that awesome tangerine rind. Nice little white, and last one as I understand it.
