Mason Cellars
Pomelo Sauvignon Blanc
Lake County, North Coast, California, USA
Ah, Mason Cellars' Pomelo, perhaps my favorite everyday SB. The new 2016 vintage is as expected, light but not thin, with only a hint of creaminess and pleasant but muted lemon and grapefruit flavors, with a sweet-tart finish. This is great as a food wine but my Swiss Army Knife of food wines, and a great value to boot.

Drinkable and light. Fruity and acidic, almost pineapple-y! Not my favorite Sauvignon Blanc, a little too sweet

pleasantly surprised at how good this is for $11. honeysuckle, pear and pineapple on the nose. medium to light bodied, dry without being too acidic.

Bought this without a lot of thought basically to deglaze a pan for a roast chicken, but you know, poured a glass while the chicken was in the oven. Well, the bottle got finished and it was great for a sauce and not bad in the glass. I have just come to expect an over-oaked Chardonnay but - especially at the price point - this was entirely drinkable and enjoyable at that.
