Matanzas Creek Sauvignon Blanc 2014

Sonoma County, California, United StatesAlways fresh this wine has leaned out over the years making it more and more interesting to food lovers. The nose is highly expressive showing ripe grapefruit, guava, nectarine with lemon thyme and assorted dried herbs. Some of the wine is fermented in neutral oak to add texture. Some sémillon and a musque clone of SB heightens the floral notes. The palate is dry and crisp the finish medium long and zesty with a touch of complex in bitters. It was a perfect wine for our barbecue chicken but goat cheese and assorted grilled fish work here too.Tasted: 20 January 2016Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
