Rutherford Sauvignon Blanc 2014

This brawny Rutherford SB is much like that kid that joined the marines just for fun. Bronzed pear color. Fat legs coat the glass upon initial swirl. Robust, rich and perhaps almost pine-tinged flavors of lime and kiwi. Bold, with a nice, weighty mouthfeel. Has body and bite. Was very lucky to find this wine indeed. Yellow flowers and a slight honeyed essence from the Semillion with a present minerality. I think zesty is a great adjective for this Rutherford SB — 9 years ago

@Shawn G. Rose : Indeed it does! I'm super picky about SBs, so if I come across, I'll pick it up.

@Shay Aldriedge same here, I'm picky about price point as well. I believe some of the best can be had for under $25.

Killer minerality and a touch of funk, which sets it apart from the run of the mill Kiwi SB. Plenty of ripe tropical fruit, too. — 9 years ago

Flying Fox

Trio Merlot Blend 2013

What a great vintage this turning out to be...the hot, dry(er) summer brought a nice balance of sugar and acid. This was wisely Merlot heavy (60%), lending to cherry notes. However, the Merlot is sturdy alto that allows the PV and CF to harmonize their tenor cords. This was from some delightful place between Rhone and the Right Bank :) Well done and a Superb Value at 22$ — 10 years ago
