    Lucky Rock Sauvignon Blanc - A Lip Smacker

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: November 4, 2021 Last Updated: January 21, 2023

    Truly delicious and now available in a can as well as a bottle, the Lucky Rock County Cuvee Sauvignon Blanc.

    Lucky Rock Sauvignon Blanc - A Lip Smacker

    Unlike the previous vintages of this wine, which were a blend of Napa and Lake counties, the 2020 is 100% Sauvignon Blanc from a single vineyard in Alexander Valley, Sonoma County, California. The wine was aged for 6.5 months, 92% in stainless steel and 8% in new French oak barrels.

    Sample submitted for review. The Lucky Rock Sauvignon Blanc has an SRP of $17 for the 750ml bottle and $40 for a 6-pack of 250ml cans. The bottle is available for as low as $14. Only 419 cases were produced.

    From the winery:

    Bright tropical fruits + grapefruit on the nose
    Clean and crisp with balanced acid
    A touch of roundness
    Mouthwatering long finish

    Cellared and Bottled by Lucky Rock Wine Company
    13.2% Alcohol

    The 2020 Lucky Rock County Cuvee Sauvignon Blanc begins with an enticing aroma of citrus, lime, mint, a little lemongrass and lots of melon notes that sucks you right into the glass.

    My first thought upon tasting was "Oh la la, this is some good Sauvignon Blanc!" The medium-bodied wine features good depth of flavor, crisp acidity and a smooth, slightly creamy texture. The more you sip, the more layers you uncover. It complemented our dinner of grilled Tuscan pork chops, roasted butternut squash and brussels sprout really well.

    It ends with a mouthwatering finish of grapefruit, zesty lime and really good length. Truly delicious, this is a lip smacker!

    Even better, we found no notable distinctions between the wine coming from the can and the one from the bottle.
