Dogwood and Thistle Sauvignon Blanc 2020 Review
Husband and wife team Sandy and Erin Robertson source grapes from their favorite vineyards and make wines they love to drink. Erin is from Virginia, where the state flower is the Dogwood, and Sandy’s family hails from Scotland, where the thistle is their national flower. They started the winery in 2017 and have been making focused, balanced wines ever since. Their Sauvignon Blanc is from the cool climate of Mendocino in northern California, and it shows. This is a zippy wine with punchy fruit. It has a citrusy nose that is immediately refreshing. The palate has great acidity that gives a juicy vibe. It’s a focused, casual wine.
