Rochioli Russian River Sauvignon Blanc, Estate Grown 2005Color: Pale lemon juice
Nose: Citrus through and through
Taste: A citrus bomb, but in a good way. Lemon fresh zing. The excellent full body is a suprise. Not lean like you'd expect with a Sauvignon Blanc. A really nice, thick mouth feel. Nutty warmth in the flavor leaning towards leachy nuts but not overpowering. I've probably overstated it, but it's the citrus that comes through. So fresh and light, makes your mouth water for oysters. I hope we can find more of this great wine, which we brought home from Sonoma on a recent trip. This is definitely one of the best Sauv. Blancs I've had in recent memory and I'm still salivating for another.
Very nice with the pasta and fresh arugula, tomatoes, shallots, and shaved pecorino we enjoyed for dinner.
