Cakebread Cellars Reviews: 2003 Sauvignon Blanc

2003 Sauvignon Blanc
Napa Valley


Give this time in the glass and it transitions from an initial greenneww (celery, green tomato) to a more gentle elegance. There's a calm, persistent spice that grows out of the acidities (that tomato-like acidity as well as a citrus acidity), giving the wine a firm, fresh, bright feel for sand dabs.
Wine & Spirits gave this wine a score of 90 points.
