Quivira Vineyard and Winery
Alder Grove Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc
Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
17’ Quivira Alder Grove SB. Pale straw color(sitting in the glass all night) it’s much lighter. Medium bodied
The inviting aromas of peach, guava, orange blossom, key lime pie, followed by a palate full of juicy grapefruit & lively citrus flavors. Moderate/light acidity floats nicely on the back of the palate. Serve at cellar temperature!!! Not to cold.
Incredible value at $ 20 dollars a bottle. Cali version of a well made Bordeaux. Just love it!

Quivira’s Alder Grove bottling is one of the better CA Sauvignon Blancs that I’ve had. The bouquet is very pretty with pomelo, elderflower and soft bell pepper notes. On the palate, it’s even more exciting with golden raspberries, lime and minerals. The finish is long with acid that excites, giving this so much life. This is the best wine I’ve yet tasted from Quivira and definitely on my radar moving forward. As a side note: Quivira is a certified biodynamic producer and a must visit if you’re ever in Dry Creek; even if it’s just to walk their property and eat produce from their garden right off the tree or right out of the ground.

Delicious. Very fun to drink. Grapefruit and lime notes. Smooth and round - ranks up there towards the top CA Sauvignon Blancs I’ve tasted.

Green zesty and fresh with peachy pinapply fruit tones. A lovely richness on the palate adds length and freshness
