2006 Chateau Montelena Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley

[wondersofwine]

This was a bit disappointing. 14.1% alcohol
Clear and bright appearance. Tangy grapefruit nose. Tastes a bit less acidic or crisp than the nose suggests. Medium weight on the palate. This might partner well with mussels if you choose not to go with Chablis or Muscadet. Overall, not thrilled with it. It is an okay wine but doesn't really speak to me of classic varietal characteristics. My favorite domestic Sauvignon Blancs remain St. Supery, Honig, and Joel Gott.
