Kuhlman Cellars
Escondido Valley Sauvignon Blanc
Texas, USA
Steely on the nose, hint of wet stone. Oily texture with white flowers and chalk running the palate. Salted butter and white pepper build the finish.

Planned a weekend getaway to the Texas Hill Country for my wife after completing/surviving another year of teaching 5 year olds in kindergarten. Love Fredericksburg and so pleasantly surprised that TX are most definitely increasing in quality. Stunned at some of our finds so far! Posting our favorite bottle from each winery.
TX makes Sauv Blanc that taste like this?! Holy smokes. This would blow some Napa Valley SBs out of the water. A lot of TX SB for me are wimpy in aromatics and taste. Not so with this one. Lovely crisp apple, brioche, tropical nose and finish. And for $21?! 😱 Yes please! @Shawn R @Mark Flesher ...happy to report back to you guys that y'all are indeed correct...this stuff is legit!

I was surprised. Excellent example of Sauvignon Blanc. Lots of tarragon/thyme in the nose - sorry but reminiscent of garlic cheese bread. Flavors of gooseberry, medium finish.

Aug 17th, 2018Rather enjoyable SB and another really nice TX white wine produced by Benedicte Rhyne from Aix-en-Provence! Lemongrass nose. Entry is lemon and granny smith apple. Entry of this wine is acidic, the middle a little more velvety. Finish definitely has a nice little citrus component. Probably rating this one a little low actually, and compared to other SB's, this one is more on the lighter side.
