Somerston Estate Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc

Still prefer a New Zealand Sauv Blanc, but this is lively and refreshing.

May 31st, 2017Just a bit too full bodied for my tastes - I tend to enjoy a crisply acidic wine - probably due to the extra time on the lees. By no means flawed, just not my style.

Pleasantly surprised. Richer and not as acidic as most sauv blanc. Very approachable.

Strong nose of apricot that unfolds into spice...a tinge of clove or all spice. The wine dissipates into an almost salty finish that's incredibly smooth.
