We tried this last night:
1. Bedrock SauvBlanc SonomaVlly/SonomaCnty (14.1%) 2015: Med.dark gold color;; strong honeyed/orangey light toasty/pencilly/oak some melony/SB very slight herbal quite complex beautiful nose; bit soft quite honeyed/orangey rather ripe/melony/SB/slight herbal rather rich some pencilly/oak slight metallic complex flavor; very long/lingering quite melony/orangey/honeyed light pencilly/oak slight herbal bit nutty complex finish; quite an interesting fully mature white.
___________
A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. I was quite surprised by this wine. It was showing a lot more maturity than I'd expect from a '15. It was hardly recognizable as a SB. Reminded more of a mature Semillon/Chard blend. That said, I absolutely loved this wine. I've been quite impressed across the board by Morgan's SauvBlancs.

I'm glad you included the bully pulpit because as I was reading the descriptors I thought no way that's SB. Interesting that overall, however, you did like it.

Yeah, Jenise.... the fact that it didn't speak of SB didn't bother me in the least. I just loved the wine for whatever it was.

Fair enough! I've felt that way about many a wine. In fact, the fact that's it's so different is often the most attractive thing.

Doesn't Morgan include some Semillon in his Sauvignon Blancs?
Decisions are made by those who show up

Yup, David...sometimes. But I don't know if this one had any.
