Matanzas Creek Sauvignon Blanc 2015
Sonoma County, California, United StatesMatanzas Creek sauvignon under screw cap - oh my, what is next? A fresher than ever, leaner style continues to give this wine an edge in a sea of soft, fat sauvignon. The wine is fermented for two to three weeks in stainless steel; 20 percent was fermented in neutral oak barrels. The nose remains expressive, showing mixing grapefruit, guava and nectarine aromas with dried herbs. There is some sémillon (grass) and a musqué clone (floral) in the mix. Overall it is dry and crisp with a touch of bitterness for complexity. The fruit itself comes off some 38 plus blocks each individually harvested, fermented and kept separate for the tasting table. A fine effort in a warm year.Tasted: 24 November 2016Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $29.99 | 750ml | Everything Wine |
