2022 Quivira Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc

Clean, bright and focused, this wine offers loads of grapefruit, fresh grass and jalapeño aromas on the nose. The palate gives plush citrus flavors of lemon, lime and pomelo. You've got to love the pure expression of Sauvignon Blanc at this price point. *Best Buy* (TC)

Quivira has long been a stalwart producer of bright, fresh, impeccably made Dry Creek wines. This estate was a leader in organic and Biodynamic farming and has long made excellent wines with lots of character and vibrancy. I was recently offered a really excellent price on this 2022 Sauvignon Blanc. I was already stocking the wine at our typical $20 price point, and believe it's a great bottle of wine at that. However, when it became possible to offer this wine out at $14.95 - I knew I had to load up for Spring / Summer. Sauvignon Blanc has been on a tear recently gaining market share as many folks continue looking for crisp, dry, refreshing wines. This beauty from Quivira is the perfect bottle to buy by the case and have around all summer. Made with a big portion of CCOF organically certified estate grown fruit, plus small lots from other like-minded neighbors and growers. The wine is partially fermented in large format, neutral wood casks made of Acacia. The other portion is kept in stainless steel to preserve aromatic intensity and focus. The wine is bursting with wildflowers, yellow fruits, and tangy lemon curd underscored by river gravel minerals. It's delicious with a lovely combination of aromatic intensity, juicy mouthwatering fruit and complex textural and mineral elements that mean it drinks well beyond this everyday price point. Don't be shy, grab few, you'll be thankful you did!
