2004 Peter Michael Winery, Sauvignon Blanc L'Apres Midi Vineyard, Sonoma, USA
This wine single-handedly rekindled our love for Sauvignon Blanc. Made using native yeasts and aged sur lies for 9 months, this wine has a depth and complexity that is alluring and gripping. The pronounced aromas of citrus, grapefruit and grass are complimented by hints of minerality, apricot and spice. The high concentration of fruit and long length make this a truly excellent wine.
2001 Turley White Coat, San Luis Obispo, USA
This white wine, a blend of Viognier and Roussanne grapes, is rich and bold. Concentrated notes of ripe white peach and apricot are balanced with enough acidity to carry the full body of this wine. This wine was luscious and powerful - a dangerously delicious combination.
2001 Schneider Cabernet Franc, Long Island, USA
We didn't just include this wine because we wanted some home team representation. Ok, so maybe that may have influenced us a little, but this wine did not get a free pass. In a blind tasting this wine captured us immediately with its unique combination of blackberry, cedar and lead pencil aromas.
