A little overripe (this vintage) musque clone. Always delicious subdued green and tropical fruit

This is a beautiful California Sauvignon Blanc. It has a beautiful nose that offers more salinity than grassiness. Citrus and minerals are also in play. On the palate, the savory herbal flavors get the citrus treatment, too. Zippy acidity brings a lively food friendliness, so pair it with shellfish, salads or spinach.

Lots of pepper on the nose, grapefruit, pepper lingering acidity with a good amount of weight. Work well. #chairmansselection PA $11.99

Nice and smooth. Not terribly distinctive but very drinkable.

Not a big Sauvignon Blanc fan, but this one is very drinkable. Only a slight hint of lemon grass compared to others that seem to over due the lemon grass flavor.

Slight touch of melons, mixed with citrus.finsih, not a dry Sauvignon Blanc, but has a body to pair well with ice cream! Will buy it again
