Long Meadow Ranch, Sauvignon Blanc, Rutherford

Has a high ABV vibe on the palate. Some time in neutral French, with 6m on lees.

very pale straw color, virtually colorless. Fresh nose of lemongrass, kiwi, white peach, and salinity. The front and mid-palate are crisp, with flavors matching the nose with the addition of some more tropical fruits. However, the finish is a touch flabby. Definitely wish this had a touch more acid carry through into the finish. Not particularly complex, but overall fun and pleasant to drink, especially when picking this up for $15 at Costco.

Pale yellow-green and nicely aromatic, this wine serves up a nice combination of citrus, kiwi, lemongrass and stone fruits. Light-bodied and without noticeable alcohol (listed as 13.0%), it unfortunately does not have enough acidity to provide the crispness that I yearn when tasting wines made from this varietal. To be sure, the mid-palate is solid and the finish is of decent length, but this offering is lacking verve. Drink now-2018.

One of the best crisp clean Sauv Blancs out there. Tropical fruits, honeydew, hints of peach. Clean finish

Light and fresh, grapefruit but not too tart. Bit low in acid but good sipper. Had with grilled marinated shrimp and it stood up ok.
