It been hot on the west coast...even in places it's not normally. Today is no different and you can add humidity; which is something we almost never have here. Time to bust out the Sauvignon Blanc. This beauty is loaded with tropical madness. Plenty of crystalline sugar in the bottom of the bottle. The green apple, ripe pineapple, lime, lemon, mango, green melon, guava, saline minerals, dry grassy notes, and spring flowers leap out of the glass. The palate matches the nose with beautiful, round, acidity and round rich long finish. Photos of, their tasting room and Calistoga vineyard. Delicious tonight!

Really like this tonight. Perhaps it was the 8 hours of power washing the the house and concrete that just made me crave it more. Nose is loaded with green apple and tropicals & green melon. Same on the palate. Citrus; like, lemon, guava, passionfruit, lychees, citrus blossoms, yellow flowers, soft, slightly sharp chalkiness & volcanic minerals, palate dripping acidity and a round, rich, polished finish. A fair amount of of tartaric crystals at the bottom. Of the bottle Photos of their tasting room and one of their vineyards.
