Is there a more expressive wine than Sauvignon Blanc? Perhaps, but certainly not among "mainstream" wines. From the herbal, racy renditions made in New Zealand to the more fruit-forward bottlings of California, Sauvignon Blanc is one wine variety that even an avowed beer drinker can learn to love. Why? Because no matter where it's made, Sauvignon Blanc is defined by its acidity, and that acidity translates to refreshing. If there¿s one wine that could be described as thirst quenching, it's Sauvignon Blanc. And so it is with the 2012 vintage from Knoll Haven Winery. At Knoll Haven, the "house style" emphasizes the wonderful fruit flavors of the variety - including honeydew melon, pineapple and lime - and downplays the "grassy" character that defines the bottlings from New Zealand. That makes the 2012 vintage equally enjoyable as a warm-weather sipper and a companion to food. It's a wine that's expressive... versatile... and easy and to love.
