2007 BV Coastal Estates, Sauvignon Blanc, California

[wondersofwine]

13.5% alcohol
Pungent nose bordering on ammonia scent. On the palate, close to vinegary such as an apple cider vinegar. Not unpleasant, but I found it less appealing than the Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc Regional Collection or the Crossings from New Zealand that I had recently. Somewhat better on the second night. I paired it with a baked chicken in wine sauce with artichoke bottoms and mushrooms and sage and thyme seasoning (and some lemon rind). I used some of the same wine in the sauce and it turned out well.
