2018 Joel Gott California Sauvignon Blanc
#44-19


I like Sauvignon Blanc quite a bit, and when it is fermented in stainless steel instead of oak, it can be a really refreshing wine with its clean and crisp finish.  The 2018 Joel Gott is a flavorful wine with that clean crisp finish which I like.  The Chardonnay Queen's comment was, "Good Stuff!"

The nose is fresh and bright with the scent of apples and melon with a citrus breeze in the background.  The apple flavor comes through with a little grassiness and a hint of lime. The finish lingers with a good balance between the fruit and acidity.  The alcohol content is 13.9%, and Norm's score is 90.

We enjoyed this California Sauvignon Blanc with spinach and cheese ravioli smothered in shrimp and bay scallops, and covered with Alfredo Sauce.  Alongside was a fresh avocado and tomato salad.


score: 90
price: $10 - $14
