2021 Sauvignon Blanc Bucher Vineyard Russian River Valley
4 Stars ~ ~ Wines of the Week, The Press Democrat, 6-22-22
“A sauvignon blanc where citrus meets tropical. Aromas and flavors of lemon, mandarin and pineapple, with a kiss of vanilla in the mix. Balanced, with great minerality. Finishes crisp. Impressive.” - Peg Melnik
Tasting Notes
Aromas of fresh-squeezed lime, lemon zest, and mandarin orange blend with hints of apricot and fresh cut grass to create a complex, enticing nose. A smooth mouthfeel and buoyant, mouthwatering acidity showcase a delicious mélange of flavors. Fresh white peach and luscious tropical fruit are balanced with Persian lime and pomelo that thread through the palate. Vanilla crème brûlée and traces of a rich mineral essence appear late and linger long in the finish.
