Grapefruit, lemon candy, peach, apple and hints of honeydew melon. Electric acidity and good minerality.

Welcome to Friday everyone and guess what, we are having another Sauvignon Blanc. This one is the 2016 J Christopher Willamette Valley Sauvignon Blanc.

The nose on this wine is very full with wonderful aromas of sweet peach, clean lime, grapefruit, honeydew melon, minerality and wet concrete.

On the palate are nice citrus notes of lime, pink grapefruit, lemon pith, guava, minerality and wet stones.

This wine is medium body with medium + acidity that leads into a long clean fresh citrus finish. We are having heavy rains this evening and are supposed to continue through the weekend bt this wine makes it a bit brighter with its bright clean crispness. Have a great weekend and enjoy some beautiful wines. Nostrovia! šŸ„‚šŸ„‚šŸ„‚šŸ„‚

Fun, lively acidity lead to tart green apple and stone fruits. It offers a floral bouquet. Bitter grapefruit comes out , as it warms. Nice minerality, and a persistent finish make this quite enjoyable. Iā€™d buy it again šŸ‘
