Very crisp on the nose. Bright green apple taste with lemon lime after taste. Medium finish. Very nice. Serve chilled. A very young wine and it shows. Very delicious.

A little acidic but nice citrus flavors. Not a bad but for $20.

I've always enjoyed these wines. Never overly alcoholic (this is 12.1%!!!) so you can have a second or third glass. Food friendly. Very drinkable. Not going to be a blockbuster but is always consistently reliable for a great glass of juice.

Rutherford Sauvignon Blanc. 2015 vintage. Low alcohol (12,9abv.). Rather timid nose. Crisp, light and clean summer wine. Tastes a bit diluted though.

Medium yellow with moderate intensity. Lots of unripe citrus and white stone fruits on the nose. Moderate acidity (6/10) with a little sharpness, but not overwhelming. Lime, grapefruit, and some mineral characteristics. Light bodied with a medium max finish. Overall not a bad bottle of Sauvignon Blanc for under $20, goes very well with spicy Chinese food. Drink now.

Not many American SB's pass the grade for me. This one does. Uniquely California, very nice wine
