Spottswoode

Napa County Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc 2011

Dynamic Sauv blanc - reminds me of cloudy bay w/ a little less acid and green character. Nose starts as pure guava and passion fruit, yielding to increasingly more grassy aromas as it warms (from green bean to grass to green bell pepper). Acid is moderate. More guava and pineapple on the palate, grass is moderate...definitely there but pleasantly dialed in for me. A touch bitter. Surprisingly fat for a Sauv blanc. This is a fun one if you keep her cold. — 13 years ago

How long have you been drinking Cloudy? I've had it recently, but apparently it's changed dramatically over the years.

I've only had recent vintages. My local wine god worked a vintage there...he shakes his head in disgust and agrees with you. I like anything NZSB that's tropical cold and grassy as it warms, for what it's worth.

I guess I would put this more in the direction of cat piss than green bean and bell pep. Need to recalibrate my palate with some cat urine, it's been so long...
