The Wine Witch just loves this wine. It really set a standard of what can be done with California Sauvignon Blanc. I know, some of you are saying “but this is a Fume Blanc”. Made from the same grape – traditionally Fume Blanc are a slightly drier style.
In my book good Sauvignon Blanc is a balance between grassy notes and citrus. I do love the citrus bombs you get from New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc – what can I say – I am a peasant at heart. However, it is certainly fun to get back to a more traditional style for a change.
The 2006 Dry Creek Sauvignon Blanc has a lovely whiff of fresh hay in the nose along with some lemon. It is a very bright tasting wine with great acidity. There is a little grass in the background with the grapefruit and lime upfront. A lovely finish that lingers a bit.
The premier food pairing for this wine – OYSTERS! Yummy. My next choice would be goat cheese. Better yet – just drink it.
