Sauvignon Blanc WineSauvignon blanc is the white grape most reflective of its terrior. A dramatic example of this is the wines of Pouilly-Fume and Sancerre; right across the Loire River from one another but with personalities unmistakably their own.
This makes the varietal especially fun to experience but encapsulating it in a one description fits all paragraph an onerous task. Caveats aside let me put it this way. The flavours here are brighter, fresher than most other whites, most certainly Chardonnay wine. Whatever the primary fragrance or flavour is, snap pea, fiddleheads or honeydew melon, its character is as if its directly out of the garden wet with mourning dew.

Arietta On the White Keys 2006
Characteristics: The brilliance and pungent vibrancy of the Sauvignon Blanc has been preserved by fermentation of a substantial portion of the Sauvignon Blanc in stainless steel barrels. The balance of the Sauvignon Blanc, as well as the Semillon, was fermented in new Chateau oak barrels, an important factor in achieving length and ageability. The many component wines were evaluated separately and then in progressive blending trials, and about half of the wine made the final blend (about 350 cases). The Sauvignon Blanc provides rich citric mouth watering acidity. The Semillon provides viscosity, lengthens and polishes the wine, and gives it a sheen of beeswax and floral scents. - Winery

Blanchet Pouilly-Fumé Silice 2008
Characteristics: faint pale straw color. Vivid lemongrass, lime, wet stone and spring grass on the nose. In the mouth a pure laser beam of acidity with lemon zest,chalk and the slightest hint of fresh savory. Crisp and lovely finish. A perfect example of why this part of the world makes lovely Sauvignon Blanc. -Wine review by PC, October 2009

Chasing Venus Sauvignon Blanc 2009
Characteristics: "Venus, the Goddess of Love. Enchanting, irresistible, mother of Cupid: she rules the heart. She was said to have risen from the sea. This crisp Sauvignon Blanc was nurtured by sea breezes off the coast of New Zealand. Grown in the Marlborough appellation, famous for producing some of the world's best white wines, Chasing Venus is a blend of three vineyards, each adding a unique character - juicy key lime, tangy grapefruit, and seductive herbal notes." -notes from Crew Wines

Clos la Chance Hummingbird Sauvignon Blanc 2007
Characteristics: "White-Tufted Sunbeam" Sauvignon Blanc 2007
This little Central Coast offering from Clos la Chance is a delightful reminder of just how fun California Sauvignon Blanc can be. Remarkably easy drinking, it displays plenty of citrus – lemon, orange zest and a touch of apricot. One of the things that really jumps out about this wine is just how well balanced it is. Clean and crisp with more citrus on the finish. -JL (tasted February 2009)
