Kenwood Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc 1998
Sonoma County, California, United StatesThis benchmark sauvignon wisely uses a touch of oak to add complexity to California's weightier style. Adding some complexity to the sauvignon is a touch of sémillon and 6 percent chardonnay. Toasty, grassy, grapefruit, melon, vanilla aromas. Round and rich with good acidity, has toasty, butter, grassy, kiwi, bell pepper flavours. Continuing high quality and tasty.Tasted: 01 September 1999Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $19.95 | 750ml |
