Wine Reviews

Freshly sliced green apple, lime curd, wet stones and subtle yoghurt notes. This is a restrained expression of sauvignon blanc with a medium body, crisp acidity and a creamy, flinty finish.

This almost clear colored Sauvignon Blanc from Cakebread was well-received by the Tasting Panel. It opens with a faint grapefruit and lime bouquet with a hint of apple blossoms. On the palate, this wine is light to medium bodied, pleasantly acidic and round. The flavor profile is a mild mineral and gentle grapefruit blend with hints of lemon-lime. The finish is dry and nicely refreshing. The Panel thought this Sauvignon Blanc would be a very good glass pour option. This Sauvignon Blanc is versatile and food friendly.

The scent of ruby red grapefruit opens the complex array of aromatics, followed by hazelnuts, a hint of talc and hot wet pavement. These follow on the palate, which is sparkly, zesty, citrusy, spritely and acidic.

This light yellow colored Sauvignon Blanc from Napa Valley opens with a fragrant yellow grapefruit and peach pit bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, pleasantly acidic and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a ripe yellow grapefruit with notes of minerality. I also detected hints of lime and nectarine. The finish is dry and its flavors show nice length.

This shows tangerine rind, guava peel, yellow apples and some lemon grass. The palate is nicely structured and fresh with high acidity, a medium to full body and a minerally finish.
