Columbia Valley Sauvignon Blanc

Not a favorite for me. Just did not have the characteristics that I expect out of the Washington state Sauvignon Blanc

The 2015 Matthews ‘Columbia Valley’ Sauvignon Blanc is a really good effort from this highly challenging vintage for white wine that saw both heat spikes and a record early August harvest. Gooseberry and shades of green bell pepper with Japanese pear aromatics take shape in the glass. Showing good verve and a soft texture, the wine unveils nice nutty and damp earth tones that combine with the Gravenstein apple, kumquat and nutmeg infused sourdough bread flavors. Now at the five year mark the 2015 ‘Columbia Valley’ Sauvignon Blanc needs to be consumed over the next several years. Kudos to the talented Aryn Morell. Drink 2020-2023- 90

Not too impressed with this Sav. Blanc. Not much structure, very plain jane...

Pear, lemons, pie, chalk, rich

Lovely light SB. A grape I generally don’t like, but this was fairly decent.

Brilliant notes of pineapple, peach, and straw, slightly floral, and hints of anise.

This Sauv Blanc is not too dry or acidic, which makes it incredibly easy to drink. With notes of honeysuckle and pear, it has a semi tart finish while staying fresh and crisp.

This medium-dry, tannic, not-too-acidic Sav Blanc was aged in steel. Nose of honeysuckle, pear, lychee; flavors feature more tart fruit than citrus.

Key lime and honeysuckle notes with a bright beginning and round finish

Brilliant! Floral aromas lead to honey suckle & vanilla.
