This blog is only updated during the Summer when I prefer to drink wine and discover new Vinters, Varietals, and Vineyards. However, from time to time throughout the year you may find a rouge post here and there. Please remember, that I am an amateur wine drinker, so my notes and observations on the blog are my own personal inexperienced notes. As I grow and develop my pallet, I hope that my notes and annotations will develop and refine as well. Until then, enjoy my blog and my adventures.

Uncorking Oak Leaf Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc

This week's wine is Oak Leaf Vineyard's Sauvignon Blanc

Wine Makers Notes: "This medium-bodied, zesty Sauvignon Blanc has bright aroma's of  lemon and fresh melon, with a clean, crisp finish."

Awards and Accolades: BRONZE - 2012 Florida State Fair International

My Notes: Mushroom, musty, pepper, asphalt. Clean, Semi dry, medium acidity, smooth cliff, perfume finish.

I was surprised by how different this wine was from other white wines. I had expected it to be fruity and sweet but found it to be dry and tangy. It was a medium feel in my mouth a little tart but sweet but not a traditional white sweet.

It does have a crisp finish as the wine maker suggests. As for the aroma's of lemon and melon, i'm not sure about all that. However, I am still an amateur.


I might keep this one on hand for more mature drinking times. It is nice and as I said before crisp. Just shocked at its lack of sweet. But a joy none the less.

~Cheers
