St. Supery 2016 Sauvignon Blanc

Grape(s): 100% Sauvignon Blanc

Region: Napa Valley, Ca

Price: 15-20

Tasting Notes:

Inviting grapefruit and melon aromas with a slight grassy accent draw one into a glass. On the palate, lush honeydew and citrus flavors from a nice fruit core that weaves in a few grassy and minerally suggestions. There’s a nice compelling round quality to the wine that’s balanced by a pleasant acidity. Nice Sauv Blanc.

Grape(s): 100% Pinot Noir

Region: Russian River Valley, Ca

Tasting Notes:

A melange of strawberries, raspberries, and plums with accents of sweet spice and rhubarb rises up from a glass. Lots of strawberry jam and raspberry form a fruit core that weaves in cinnamon, rhubarb, and floral hints. Plush tannins and a balanced acidity make this an very approachable wine, which will pair nicely with grilled salmon.

Grape(s): 100% Chardonnay

Region: Mendocino County, Ca

Compelling notes of pears, apples, peaches, and creamy oak rise up from a glass. Those apple and pear flavors come up front on teh palate and make way for buttery and barrel spice highlights. Nice body and a pleasant acidity, a good value for Chardonnay.
