    Dry Creek Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc

    David Honig
    Wine Reviews
    1 min read
    This rich Sauvignon Blanc is softened around the edges with the addition of small amounts of Sauvignon Musque and Sauvignon Gris. The color is pale straw. The nose is soft and rich, crème brûlée and melon. White peaches and honeydew melon show on the palate, lime peeks through on the mid-palate.

    A wine that was accurately described as “bold” by the tasters with me that evening. This wine is fruitier than some other red wines from Piedmont – even other Ruchè wines-- with more wood notes appearing as baking spices and vanilla, within the overall hearty wine. It has a big

    Lemon zing and guava soft come together in this refreshing, slightly restrained Sonoma Valley Sauvignon Blanc. The color is a pale, bright gold. Tropical and soft citrus aromas flow up from the glass, guava, mango, and Meyer lemon. The lemon is more tart on the palate, juice and pith. Tropical

    A light red wine that's easy to drink -- and a little different from anything you might have tried before. Though the winemaker calls this a casual wine, I found it to be elegant as well. There’s a beautiful, well-defined cherry and garrigue aroma. On the palate it’s fresh, with

    2015 Edna Valley Vineyard Heritage Chardonnay, Winemaker Series

    This is my style of chardonnay, more Burgundian than New World. There’s oak and richness but crispness on the palate, especially in the beginning and end. Peach, tangerine and minerality all contribute to the complexity, with acidity and good structure in the body and finish. Good balance. Sip on its

    As the wine warms in the glass, fruit and some vanilla vie for attention in the aroma. The whispered fruit turns opulently tropical and overflows onto the palate, inviting some strawberry along too. A baking spice & vanillin finish, but not overly so. Easy to sip on its own or

    A medium gold sparkling wine with good balance. Metodo classico, vinified in steel and aged in the bottle 30 months. Minerality, acidity, citric and apricot skin fruit with a hint of florals all combine to make this wine really work very well as a whole: a very pleasant experience for the

    After 60 months on the lees, the wine remains a light gold in color and quite delicate in flavor, with a wafting of yeast in the aroma. Hints of citrus, apricot, and mango appear on the palate. The body is light, as is the finish. Mild acidity. A good wine
