The late Patty Green loved Sauvignon Blanc and her co-founder/current Patricia Green winemaker Jim Anderson always makes one of the Willamette Valley’s best. In 2023 there’s a new label and even more fruit and wild herb deliciousness here than usual, with no loss of crunchy bite and texture.
As Jim writes, “This is classic Sauvignon Blanc provided you do not think this variety should smell like cut grass and cat pee.” The label shows pink grapefruit, lemons, limes and peaches with wild herbs peeking out behind the fruit, which is pretty much exactly what you’ll taste. We get a note of Meyer lemon, too. The texture is round and silky before the acids come up to make your cheeks pucker and mouth water through a satisfying and fresh close. If you triangulate New Zealand Sauvignon, Sancerre and California’s best, you’ll sort of understand what to expect. But, really, it’s a Willamette Valley original and it’s terrific.
For You If: You like the flavors, minerality and mouthwatering cut of Sauvignon Blanc but don’t want to be hit over the head with a grapefruit or start sniffing around your home’s baseboards to see if the cat missed the litter box.
Not For You If: You don’t like Sauvignon Blanc no matter where it’s from – this showcases the best the grape can offer from a wonderful set of vines and people.
