| Sauvignon Blanc Wine Tasting Notes
1998 Carmenet
Edna Valley "Sauvignon Blanc 68%, Semillon 32%" Reserve
Score: 89.0
"This is a marvelous blend of 68% Sauvignon Blanc and 32% Semillon. Melon rind and light tarragon flavors combine with tart acidity to create a wine that has excellent length, and the structure to age, as well as pair successfully with seafood laced with lemon. By itself it is a decent aperitif."

1999 Canyon Road
California Sauvignon Blanc
Score: 88.0
"Sauvignon Blanc is what wine should be all about-affordable, good tasting, showing fruit and an ineffable complexity. Lets face it, the cache is often the result of price: If its expensive it must be good. But Sauvignon blanc is naturally complex and for now, at least, comparatively inexpensive. Heres a good example of a refreshing Sauvignon Blanc with bright honeydew and gooseberry fruit coupled with mineral complexity. A first rate bargain."

1998 Boeger
El Dorado Sauvignon Blanc
Score: 92.0
"This is winemaking brought to a high art. Ripe honeydew melon and citrus fruit with floral overtones, perfectly balanced and very elegant. Great aperitif or try with pork chops or fish."
|
1998 Beringer Vineyards Founders Estate
California Sauvignon Blanc
Score: 91.0
An outstanding Sauvignon Blanc with velvety texture and complex mineral overtones. The fruit is tending toward melon with a touch of papaya. Very dry and well balanced.
|
1998 Lockwood
Monterey County Sauvignon Blanc
Score: 92.0
"Crisp, floral, fig aromas. Intensely fruity gooseberry and lime with a long spicy finish."
|
1998 CHATEAU ST. JEAN FUME BLANC
SONOMA COUNTY [SAUVIGNON BLANC]
Score: 92.0
"This is a Sauvignon Blanc with the weight and mouthfeel of a Chardonnay, and persistent intensity from the nose through the finish. Its perhaps best described as green melon with vanilla, a hint of smoke, crisp acidity, velvety texture, and an amazingly long finish. "
|
1997 Brutocao
Bliss Vineyard Mendocino Sauvignon Blanc
Score: 88.0
"Dry melon rind, subtle herbs, mineral overtones, Brazil nuts, crisp acidity, yet a silky texture and a shourt finish."
|
Fetzer Echo Ridge
California Sauvignon Blanc
Score: 84.0
"Crisp, austere and aggressively herbal, with firm acidity and a long finish, Fetzers Echo Ridge is best suited to ham, burritos, or fish sauteed in a lemon butter sauce."
|
1998 Kenwood
Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc
Score: 88.0
"A satisfying melange of honeydew, guava and lime, with a blast of dry grassiness on the palate and a crisp grassy finish. Pair with veal, pork or poultry."
|
Sella & Mosca Le Arenarie
"Algerho, Sardegna" Italy [Sauvignon Blanc]
Score: 86.0
"Lovely figgy wine with lemon accents, frsh, light and dry. Very elegant and perfectly balanced. Good aperitif, or serve with light fish and shellfish, and soup."
|
Handley
Dry Creek Valley Sauvignon Blanc Late Harvest
Score: 90.0
"Reminiscent of a Sauternes, this dessert wine is spritzy and toasty, with 15% residual sugar and layers of apricot, savory herbs and honey flavors. Good acidity, firm structure and a long, long finish. Id prefer it with blue veined cheese, but you could also serve it with pound cake. Half bottle: "
|
1998 Groth
Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc
Score: 85.0
"An attractive, medium-bodied wine with bright figgy fruit, citrus accents, a bit of oak and a crisp spritzy edge, the Groth would be a good match for veal, risotto or poultry."
