Duckhorn Sauvignon Blanc 2019
Napa Valley, California, United StatesA classic label for Napa sauvignon blanc, the approach here is restrained without being austere, which seems to be an increasing trend in the region. Nearly gone are the tropical fruits; the focus is on citrus and gooseberry, with a faint hint of oak from ageing five months in 8% new French oak. The judicious amount of sémllion adds some flesh to the palate, but at 19% of the blend, this can still be labelled as a single variety sauvignon blanc in California. It shows real freshness and poise and is just calling out for shellfish. Other examples may be more complex, but they almost certainly won't be this price.Tasted: 03 April 2021Tasted by: Geoffrey Moss MWPrices:| BC | $38.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
