As several wine categories have been flagging, California Sauvignon Blanc sales in the US have been doing pretty well. There are several long-standing fine California Sauvignon Blanc brands that you always see in the market: Duckhorn, Ferrari Carano, Groth, Honig, and I'm sure you can come up with a couple of others.
Although the stated list price is $32, this is currently selling at the local Emeryville Total Wine store for $19.99, and you can expect it to be listed for around $20-$25 most places.
This vintage of Duckhorn Sauvignon Blanc absolutely delivers. This is a terrific wine. It's fresh and zippy with spring-like snap pea, grass, clover, lemon-lime, elderflower and honeydew melon flavors. A dose of Semillon gives it some added depth. No wonder it's one of the leading brands in the ultra-premium tier - it's super-complex and well-executed with great layers, complexity, and concentration. Brava to winemaker Renee Ary! (93 Points)
