2017 Elizabeth Spencer Mendocino Sauvignon Blanc
The very first thing that came to my mind when tasting Elizabeth Spencer’s 2017 Sauvignon Blanc was this is a wine that everybody is going to love…  It was followed by pure, clean and refreshing white orchard fruits, ginger, rock minerals, lime and exotic passionfruit.  The wine was fermented in 100% stainless steel which helped preserve the natural acidity and bright, clean fruit.  At $19.99/btl this is simply one of the best expressions of California Sauvignon Blanc that I’ve found. 
Created from two organically farmed vineyards, Gibson and Talmage Bench, the tension created from the two sites creates excitement on the palate.  The older vines lend complexity and mineral qualities which I find intensely interesting.  Inspired by Sauvignon Blancs from the Loire Valley in France, this is made in a fresh, pure style leaning towards white fruits and minerals.  It’s absolutely delicious to drink and as great as it is, it may not be available for long.

Tasting Notes:This is a medium to light-bodied Sauvignon Blanc, lovingly inspired by the Loire Valley. White peach and apricot, yellow grapefruit, and lemon blossom aromas erupt from the glass. These aromatics carry through and lend a dry fruitiness to the mineral driven pallet. The wine has very appealing ripeness and great balancing acidity, where the complexity of stone fruit and green apples, yield to a very citrusy, crisp finish.

OAKVILLE 

2017 Pop 300 Oakville RoseFor wine lovers, being in-the-know can sometimes result in drinking a wine that performs so stratospherically above the realm of possibilities for it’s price point and type, that you feel like you stole something when you taste it. POP 300’s Oakville Rosé gives you that feeling and here’s why… Many would argue that the To-Kalon Vineyard in the heart of Oakville is the greatest vineyard in California.  A little known secret is that there’s a tiny block of Pinot Noir in the center of this magical vineyard.  It’s called the Wilsey Vineyard and in a case where location and being connected takes you the distance, POP 300 has my vote.  The aromas alone give you a rush of jubilation and compelling notes of bing cherry, crushed sea shells, minerals and wild raspberries let you know what you’re about to get into… Oh yeah and at $29.99/btl, it’s truly one of the best Rosé wines produced in California. 
 
It’s well known that Oakville produces some of the best Cabernet Sauvignon fruit in the world, but very few people would know that Pinot Noir even exits in this iconic region.  This is a truly unique, Rose of Pinot Noir by Luke Russ, whose day job is the Commercial Director at O’Shaughnessey Winery, might leave you in shock and disbelief by just how good it is.  Just don’t let the shock last too long, because it will be gone before you know it…
