Today’s 2010 Toquade Wines Sauvignon Blanc is a truly unique, truly delicious wine. This is not your usual, light-hearted California Sauvignon Blanc, though. Rather, it is on the more herbaceous and even slightly vegetal style. This makes sense, given that the winemaker is a native of France.

On opening, this wine is understated. As it warms, it opens up, revealing layers of aromatics and flavors that were not present on opening. In the French style, this wine is approachable and slightly underripe.

If you enjoy truly unusual but very pleasant Sauvignon Blanc, you’ll accept our mission on this recommended wine.
