Groth Sauvignon Blanc 2005
Region: Napa Valley, California
Winery: Groth
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc

Lush, full melon/citrus character in the aroma and in the flavor. The cooler Napa Valley fruit provides a solid, crisp backbone that gives the wine n exciting liveliness that balances the rich creaminess from "sur lie" aging.

This is quite a delicious Sauvignon, notable for its balance and elegance. Everything is understated, like fine tailoring. The flavors are food-friendly citrus zest, lemondrop, figs, melons and spicy green apples, and the finish totally dry. Score: 90. —Steve Heimoff, November 15, 2006.
