Madrigal Sauvignon Blanc

Filed Under Whites

The 2008 Madrigal Sauvignon Blanc is one of the most interesting and pleasurable examples of Sauvignon Blanc that I have experienced in some time. Don’t get me wrong, I taste plenty of great Sauvignon Blancs, often, but this one definitely stands out from among the crowd.

The romantic nose of this wine almost leaping from the glass is the first thing to steal your attention with a beautiful expression of jasmine, white peach, apricot and honeydew. The next impressive characteristic is the overly weighty, almost viscous mouthfeel. So heavily does this elegant white wine coat your palate, that your first reaction is almost a double-take, questioning weather or not this really is a Sauvignon Blanc – rather than a good Chardonnay. Once your feet return to the ground, you’ll find the finish to be a satisfying light, clean citrus experience that would more than compliment most any salad, seafood or white meat dish. Of course, it would also pair well with any sunset or afternoon swing in your hammock. And at 700 cases produced, it will not last long.

Contact Jonathan Keller to steal as much of this little gem as you can.
