Sauvignon Republic Russian River Sauvignon Blanc 2005

Russian River, Sonoma County, California, United StatesLove the 'still fresh' character one and half year-old screwcap finished sauvignon that is long on the citrus mineral, and gooseberry flavours. There are bits of grapefruit rind and grassy undertones in the finish of a perfect food wine. Is this an aberration or is California finally getting it? Pair with endless amounts of seafood, chicken dishes and even pork. Anywhere a squeeze of lemon is required. Drink up.Tasted: 18 April 2007Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
