Patricia Green Cellars Willamette Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2023

This is classic Sauvignon Blanc, provided you do not think this variety should smell like cut grass and cat pee. This has high-toned and heavily fruited aromatics with a distinct limey/citrus tinge along with the hint of straw and minerals which is what ripe Sauvignon Blanc should have as its varietal typicity. The strength of the aromatics resounds in the glass as the wine is deeply fruited with citrus notes at the entry giving way to tropical fruit with extremely crisp acidity on the finish while still having enough palate weight that there is length and complexity. The wine is bright and fresh, but retains an enormous amount of texture and richness without being heavy or taking away from its 'summertime drinking' sort of nature.
