Kenwood Sauvignon Blanc 2006

For more than twenty-five years Kenwood Vineyards has been recognized as one of California's top Sauvignon Blanc producers. The fruit sourced for this wine comes from their growers in five different appellations in Sonoma County. This wine shows lively varietal aromas of grass, Meyer lemon and freshly cut honeydew melon. Fresh and crisp, with lively body and a lingering finish. Best served chilled, this Sauvignon Blanc makes an excellent aperitif and will complement higher-acid dishes including salads and vegetables. Also pairs nicely with light-sauced poultry, shellfish and seafood dishes.

Not particularly impressed. Little fruit, slightly metallic. Still it's drinkable, if not particularly enjoyable.

Crisp and intense, with lively passion fruit, citrus, grass and floral notes that linger in a focused, tangy finish underscored gently by toasty oak notes. Well-rounded choice at a feel-good price. Drink now. 93,000 cases made.
