Rutherford Ranch Sauvignon Blanc 2023

This gentle, fruit-centered wine is generous in grapefruit, lemon and ripe apple aromas followed by light herbaceous notes and moderate acidity on the palate. A medium body and rounded texture keep it rather soft in balance. Drink now.

Rutherford Ranch's 2023 Sauvignon Blanc offers up straightforward scents of grapefruit and quince on the nose, while the soft, medium-bodied palate transitions into tinned pineapple sensations on the finish. While it's perfectly drinkable at a reasonable price, it's a bit disappointing from a vintage that should've favored this variety.

Mango and papaya with a curl of lemon pith is sprinkled with powdered citrus flavors, lifting into a persistent finish.
