Default TN Groth 1993 Napa Sauvignon Blanc

I finally found this one remaning bottle that had been misplaced for a
few years. When younger, it was a very decent SB of a middle-of-the-road
style - not extreme in any respect.

The wine should have been drunk earlier. It is quite drinkable and has
softened and smoothed. However it has also lost enough fruit and herbal
character so that the oak is showing through too much for my taste. The
back label says the wine received 4 months of aging in small oak
cooperage. While oak was about right and in the backgrond when the wine
was at peak, it now is all too apparent. Even without the oak, the wine
would now be a bit flat.

My mailbox is always full to avoid spam. To contact me, erase
from my email address. Then add . I do not
check this box every day, so post if you need a quick response.
