Staff Pick Notes

The Mudd Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is a clean, crisp, aromatic dry white wine that displays mineral, citrus, stone and tree-fruit flavors and aromas. Fermented entirely in stainless steel with fruit from some of the oldest Sauvignon Blanc vines on Long Island which were planted in 1975 (on their own roots!). All fruit was hand-picked, whole cluster-pressed, and handled minimally. This wine possesses flavors and aromas of white grapefruit, lime, herbs, cut grass, talc, tangy white peach, a chalky, and even some hints of tropical fruits and white flowers. This is a dynamic wine exhibiting medium body, moderate alcohol, juicy acidity and a long lasting, persistent finish with beautiful subtlety and delicacy. Pairs magically well with local oysters and clams, charcuterie, asparagus and egg dishes as well as most white-fleshed fish.

(It’s a somewhat odd way of pointing out herbaceousness in the wine.) Cat pee aside, Sauvignon Blanc (sometimes called "Fumé Blanc" in California) is a bit of a chameleon in terms of style, and quite utterly at the whim of the winemaker. Some are fermented in barrel, others in stainless steel. Some...
