WTN: Stacked Deck

2019 Bevan Cellars Sauvignon Blanc Dry Stack - USA, California, Sonoma County, Bennett Valley (8/8/2020)
My distaste for Sauvignon Blanc is legend, and this really is not my thing. That being said, it is a very well made wine, but for my palate, an amalgam of flavors that do not combine to a harmonious whole. Fresh straw bedding for a stable (no stable aromas), under ripe tropical notes, fresh mown grass, mint, and a milky/lactic element that seems contrived/out of place. That's all for me. I bet others would find it much more pleasurable. There is objectively nothing wrong with this wine. I...just...hate...Sauvignon...Blanc.

I've never made my peace with this variety.
I don't know just how I'm supposed to play this scene, but I ain't afraid to learn...
