Benziger Family Winery
North Coast Sauvignon Blanc
North Coast, California, USA
Had an opportunity to taste the 2013 & 2014 side by side. Clean, clear bright pale yellow, stone and citrus fruit aromas, and floral notes. Palate shows grapefruit and crisp apple fruit flavors and some grassy and mineral notes. The wine finished about medium and was a bit better than 2013. Tasting Sample.

Oct 22nd, 2016Mediocre and over bodied sauv blanc. Lime and citrus notes and over bearing acidity fails to showcase the mineralogy this variety is known for.

Aug 16th, 2017I second that this is great with chicken. Had this with an Asian stir-fry with Hoisin sauce and a lemon vinaigrette cabbage slaw. It has citrus notes and some pear and grassy notes as well. We had the 2014.

Mild grapefruit. Good on a warm summer day. Bouquet really opens up as it warms up.
