    Murphy-Goode Sauvignon Blanc - North Coast Nectar

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: March 27, 2020 Last Updated: June 1, 2021

    Dry, delicious and highly recommended, the Murphy-Goode North Coast The Fumé Sauvignon Blanc.

    Murphy-Goode Sauvignon Blanc - North Coast Nectar

    96% Sauvignon Blanc and 4% Semillon from North Coast, California. 13% of the wine is barrel fermented with the remainder seeing only stainless steel. The wine has just 1.6 g/L of residual sugar.

    Sample submitted for priority (sponsored) review. The Murphy-Goode Sauvignon Blanc has an SRP of $14 and is available for as low as $10. Ready to buy? Check your local retailers.

    From the bottle:

    Offering superb balance. Our Sauvignon Blanc is easy to enjoy while showing a real depth of character. It offers up a full spectrum of bright fruit flavors, held together by a crisp backbone of juicy acidity. Though our fans enjoy Sauvignon Blanc in all seasons for all reasons, it begs to be paired with fresh oysters on the half-shell.

    Tasting Notes: lemon, orange blossom, pear.

    13.5% Alcohol

    Home to both Napa and Sonoma, but also places like Lake County and Mendocino, the large and varied North Coast AVA of California can be a great spot for tasty and affordable Sauvignon Blanc. And that is exactly what we have here.

    The 2018 Murphy-Goode Sauvignon Blanc begins with very pleasing aromas of lemongrass, citrus and a little tropical fruit. Tasting the wine reveals a smooth, slightly creamy texture from the deft addition of barrel fermentation to 13% of the juice. You'll also find refreshing notes of pear, pineapple and citrus with a bit of a herbal touch and bright acidity in this tasty wine. It finishes crisply and with surprising length silently begging you to take another sip.

    This is a great option for seafood, spicy foods or just sitting on the porch in warm weather. Highly Recommended!

    Ready to buy? Check your local retailers.
