2006 NO Sauvignon Blanc, California $11
This is a no bull wine, loaded with flavors galore, it is a true winner in every sense. Aromas of lemon zest and fresh cut grass, it gets the taste buds awake and ready for that first sip. When this wine hits the mouth, all the flavors start to explode; lemon, sage, herbal notes and a crisp slate acidity. These flavors keep the palette awake anxious for the next taste. The finish was as clean as a whistle, with the citrus notes holding on to the last minute. It delivers all of the true characteristics of this grape for under $15.
We enjoyed this bottle with shrimp cerviche, the clean flavors of the citrus and tomatoes along with the texture of the shrimp and avocados allowed each sip to reawaken all of the flavors of the dish. You could also enjoy this wine with oysters on the half shell or steamed crab. Keep the menu light and fresh, no heavy cream sauces.
This wine is made by a group that sources what they feel is the best grapes for a verity and bottles in under their label. The No means No Cork (it is screw off), No oak, no malolatic fermentation, no attitude and no kidding. They have accomplished what their label wanted with not a bad drop to be found.
