This wine caught my eye ... new in the store, intriguing name and it supports the James Beard Foundation with an annual donation. Dough 2019 Sauvignon Blanc is from the north coast of California.
Winemaker's Notes: Fruit for this wine comes from two North Coast counties. One vineyard tends to be a bit warmer, giving the wine tropical aromas and flavors, while the cooler site adds bright gooseberry and crisp acid structure. Together, they create a lively and refreshing Sauvignon Blanc with great balance that offers something for everyone. Aromas are nice floral aromatics centering on jasmine and lemongrass. Layers of lime zest and gooseberry. Flavors are ripe green melon and grapefruit. Round, lush mid-palate. Bright acid on the finish.
Aroma for me was mild grapefruit; typical of a California Sauvignon Blanc. Palate was grapefruit with a long bold gooseberry finish (the latter atypical of a California Sauvignon Blanc). For me, this was light body and not balanced. Have to say, at TFM's price of $15.99, there are others I prefer.
I'm thinking if this is still in the store when my samplings come back I will definitely open it and pair with ... IDK, something.
