2019 Bedrock Wine Co. Sauvignon Blanc - USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Valley (11/15/2021)
If ever there was a Sauvignon Blanc that had some Riesling sensibilities…
Seriously though, I am a dedicated Sauvignon Blanc skeptic. I have tried so many, from Vatan to Dageneau to Bevan to Cloudy Bay, and I just cannot find a way to love it. The Massican Sauvignon Blanc came close. The Bedrock Steaks of William Holden or whatever came close. This wine comes closer. The fruit is all about citrus and peach (sounds like Riesling), the acidity is front and center (sounds like Riesling). There is a simultaneously chalky and creamy note on the finish, and a hit of herbs that don’t seem like Riesling, but then the mouthwatering acidity kicks in again. Hmm…I could like this. Maybe. I’ll leave a couple of glasses in the bottle to see tomorrow night. Keeping an open mind.
