Emerald straw color. Aromas and flavors of Dole fruit cup, canned apple, pear, and peach syrup, candied green herbs, and soy wax candle with a silky, crisp, dryish light-to-medium body and a tingling, interesting, breezy finish with touches of canned orchard fruits, fruit syrup and white flowers, lemon and lime pith, and sweet peppers. A very pleasurable Sauvignon Blanc and a good glass of wine, if a bit atypical.

About
Sauvignon Blanc
Sauvignon Blanc is a bit of a chameleon of a variety, as it changes its character depending on where it is grown. Most famously in France’s Loire Valley, (especially in Pouilly-Fumé and Sancerre), it is a rich dry white with distinct herbal notes in the nose and on the palate. In New Zealand, the flavors range from gooseberry to tropical; both styles have very good natural acidity. Certain areas in Chile also produce very tropical-driven examples with a touch of herbal character, while the typical California style is clean with melon and spearmint fruit with only traces of herbal notes.

Many styles of Sauvignon Blanc – especially those from New Zealand – are aged in steel tanks to preserve the aromatic qualities, while some producers in Sancerre or even in California age in wooden barrels; this for added texture and spice. Medium-full in body, Sauvignon Blanc is especially excellent paired with shellfish or seafood or lighter poultry with herbs.

William Heritage 2022 Reserve, Sauvignon Blanc, Outer Coastal Plain rating was calculated by to be 88 points out of 100 on 10/10/2023. Please note that MSRP may have changed since the date of our review.
