Rusack Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc 2018 Review
Going against the current style in California is this dry, crisp, mineral driven Sauvignon Blanc. The fruit is lean and smells like fresh sliced pear and mint yogurt. The mouthfeel is grippy, with very high acidity stabbing the fruit notes on the palate, keeping them in check. This is a great wine to sit and drink with good friends, and just let the wine do most of the talking.
