| Sauvignon Blanc Wine Tasting Notes
1999 Buttonwood
Santa Ynez Valley Sauvignon Blanc
Score: 88.0
"A medium-bodied, dry, crisp, grassy style of Sauvignon Blanc where the complexity comes from all from the grape. This one has 13% Semillon added for extra roundness. Nice seafood wine. "
|
1999 St. Clement
Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc
Score: 88.0
"Grassy, crisp acidity, light lime and toasted almond, tight and tart, yet round on the palate with a long finish. A classic shellfish wine."
|
1999 Concha y Toro Terrunyo
Casablanca Valley Sauvignon Blanc
Score: 89.0
"Concha y Toro has been making superior Sauvignon Blancs for at least 25 years. This premium Sauvignon Blanc comes at a price, but its a beautifully balanced wine, showing excellent varietal definition with muted honeydew fruit, crisp acidity and marjorum notes to give it some complexity. "
|
1999 KENWOOD
Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc
Score: 89.0
" Medium-bodied, aromatic yet not very fruity-the nose and flavors are floral, with nuances of nuts and spice, and the finish is long and crisp. Excellent chicken and fish wine."
|
1998 Robert Mondavi Fume Blanc
Napa Valley [Sauvignon Blanc] Reserve
Score: 89.0
"Tart, dry, with a melange of fruit flavors ranging from grapefruit to star fruit to lime. Leesy overtones give mineral-like tones to the mid-palate and long drawn-out finish."
|
1999 Bernardus
Monterey County Sauvignon Blanc
Score: 96.0
"A stunning Sauvignon Blanc - a bright gooseberry and lime nose, mineral, lime, subtle hers and the barest hint of oak on the palate. Crisp, dry and long. Impressive."
|
1998 Dry Creek Vineyard Fume Blanc
Dry Creek Valley [sauvignon blanc] Reserve
Score: 88.0
"A stylistic Sauvignon Blanc with a subtle round nose, projecting fig and honeydew scents, while the palate is creamy and broad with light oak spice and citrus character. Maintains the high level of quality weve come to expect of Dry Dreek. "
|
1998 Chateau Ste. Michelle
Horse Heaven Vineyard Columbia Valley Sauvignon Blanc
Score: 85.0
"Lemon-lime aroma, tart, dry and citrusy on the palate. "
|
1998 Michel Lynch
Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc
Score: 86.0
"A nice, clean, fruity, minerally wine with the barest hint of herbal character to green melon fruit, dry and tart. Easy to pair with fish or pasta, and an especially great quaff for shellfish (drizzlng lemon on the shellfish makes this a rounder, fruitier wine). A good deal."
|
1999 R.H. Phillips
Dunnigan Hills Sauvignon Blanc
Score: 86.0
"Bright tart gooseberry fruit, crisp and refreshing. Reminiscent of New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs. A super bargain at just $7."
|
1999 Rodney Strong Charlottes Home
Northern Sonoma Sauvignon Blanc
Score: 86.0
"A medium-bodied wine with citrus and melon flavors, and a bit of mineral notes, the herbal characteristics of Sauvignon Blanc completely subdued. "
|
1998 La Poussie [Blanc]
Sancerre [Sauvignon Blanc]
Score: 90.0
"A yummy Sauvignon Blanc from Baron Patrick de Ladoucette, offering high peach and floral aromas, and lean, tart, citrusy fruit on the palate. "
