Note di degustazione
The 2012 Sauvignon Blanc is classy, beautiful and elegant. Mint, white flowers, peach and nectarine jump from the glass in this beautifully delineated Sauvignon Blanc. Bright saline notes support the finish. This is a gorgeous showing. The Sauvignon Blanc was fermented in concrete and aged in barrel.

As has been the case for a number of years, Rudd’s Sauvignon Blanc in 2012 is a stunning effort. Although it does not say so on the label, I believe a lot of the fruit for this cuvee comes from a vineyard on Mt. Veeder. It is an 891-case blend of 83% Sauvignon Blanc, 9% Semillon and 8% Sauvignon Gris fermented in a combination of French oak and concrete eggs. If there is a California equivalent of the great white Pessac-Leognan Domaine de Chevalier, this may be it. Liquified minerals, caramelized citrus and honeyed melon characteristics emerge from this full-bodied, incredibly fresh, vibrant, well-delineated white. Drink this stunning Sauvignon Blanc over the next 4-5 years, although I suspect it can last even longer. Tel. (707) 944-8577
