Loveblock Sauvignon Blanc 2020 Review

Kim Crawford is onto new things. With the success of his Savvy B, he has turned to organics. This is his and his wife Erica’s passion project. They are even building substructures of soil from the ground up to guarantee sustainable agriculture. The Loveblock wines just hit different, especially in a region of uniform characteristics. The bell pepper vibes are subtle and acidity is very alive. That active acidity balances what would otherwise be a dense fruit core. There is an earthiness to this wine, even though it’s a white wine.
