The holidays are over and it’s time to start getting some new reviews posted on this site. Late last year I posted a few Sauvignon Blanc reviews and I continue this year with another SB. This one comes from Geyser Peak Winery in Northern Sonoma County, California.
While the Geyser Peak winery is located in Sonoma County, the grapes in this wine are sourced from cool coastal areas in California between Monterey and Lake County. The winery itself was established in 1880 and is located in Geyserville, CA with a view of Geyser Peak Mountain.
Compared with other Sauvignon Blanc, this one has a slight green hue—although the green color is very subtle. The nose is delightful and super-tropical, with mango, honeydew melon, peach and soft floral notes. The palate is outstanding. Big peach and melon flavors dominate, with a crisp acidity and a touch of mineral to round it out. This is a nice, refreshing Sauvignon Blanc.
