Rudd 2007 Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley

WA 92pts. - According to the Wine Advocate: Leslie Rudd is doing an outstanding job with Sauvignon Blanc, and his offering has become one of the three or four finest Sauvignons in the Napa/Sonoma/Mendocino area. The 2007 Sauvignon Blanc (1,260 cases) is a gorgeously sexy Sauvignon exhibiting pronounced notes of honeyed melons, hints of figs and smoke, and a waxy orange-like character. It possesses the lovely texture of a white Burgundy along with the aromatic complexity and zesty acidity of a California Sauvignon. Enjoy it over the next 2-3 years.
