Review- Contrada Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 06’
This past weekend proved to be another summertime get together with Family, Good Music, Food & Wine. I can’t tell you enough how fortunate we are to spend quality moments like this with our son and his fiancée. Summer seems to lure you outside to appreciate all of your surroundings and loved ones. I especially seem to notice everything from the sweet smell of jasmine in the yard, birds in the trees and the smell of neighboring barbeques enjoying just as we are.
I believe Ron and I live for Ambience. .Its so important to us that we want our guests to experience it as well.. In fact my brother says staying at our home is a experience and he literally books dates on the calendar so that he too can experience that certain ambience…..
I decided to Barbeque chicken tonight which I marinated a couple hours prior as well as corn on the cob and baked potatoes, of course all of this is simple but completely satisfying to our taste buds! We uncorked the Contrada Napa Valley Sauvignon blanc and anticipated to enjoy this with our meal……
Contrada Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 06’from Oakville California with its fruit undertones seemed as though it would be great. The taste would prove otherwise…. Fresh and lively with a long finish, 13.5 % alcohol. It didn’t seem to hit the spot. We’ve had so many other Sauvignon Blancs that were so great and this one only seemed “FAIR” to us. I wanted to give it another chance as it had been rated at 90 points, however twice as nice so they say didn’t work this time. The aromas were good with their tropical ,citrus smells, the color had good clarity, the taste to us…somewhat bitter. Quite frankly to many other great Sauvignon Blancs out there to buy this again….Should you choose to try this wine, it will run you around $12.00.…
We rate this wine (FAIR)
Here are our Ratings: / Pass / Fair / Ok / Good / Great
Disclaimer: Just because we like or dislike a wine does not mean that you will have the same experience. Of course it’s always worth a try….tell us what you think??
