I hope you don’t think that I’m on the payroll at Trione ’cause here is another review of a super wine. At the Chronicle judges’ dinner last week we were each given a gift-wrapped bottle of a wine to take home after dinner.<\/p>\n

That meant that between Linda and I we had scored two bottles of a wine I had yet to uncover. And then on Friday morning I ran into William Bloxsom-Carter outside the Best Western when I was packing up my car. He offered me his bottle as he couldn’t take it on the flight home to southern California.<\/p>\n

Now I’m up to 3 bottles of a mystery gift. At home I uncovered them and saw that it was the ’06 Sauvignon and I was puzzled as we tasted the ’08 at dinner with the Triones.<\/p>\n

I put them in the frig and we opened one the other night and it was quite nice. I said to myself I need to write this up so I put another bottle in the frig this morning so I could try a fresh bottle this evening and spend the time to taste it thoroughly.<\/p>\n

\"TrioneTrione, Russian River Valley, River Road Ranch, Sauvignon Blanc 2006<\/strong> Well, I am delighted. What you can experience with Sauvignon, like with Hunter Semillon, is a honeyed character, a sense of increasing complexity that overlays the fruit. I must stress the word ‘can’ as many a Sauvignon here on the home turf doesn’t evolve well after 2 years.\u00a0 But we know this grape can go a greater distance than just the one year dash, as evidenced by some of the bottles I’ve tasted at Reverdy in Sancerre and at Mulderbosch in Stellenbosh.<\/p>\n

The acidity is still quite engaging, making this wine refreshing while complex. Full production notes are online at Winemaker’s Tasting Notes<\/a>.
