Now Who Took My Wine

Three Thieves (CB, JG & RS), Sauvignon Blanc California 2003 ($9) -- I tend to prefer the California Sauvignon Blancs more than the ones from New Zealand and France due to the softer, fruitier flavors. I am not big on grapefruit or tart acids. For my tastes, this is a well-made, balanced wine with more melon and pear than grapefruit and a nice finish. Not a big nose, but then again it's a Sauvignon Blanc. I have tasted the Joel Gott Sauvignon (and liked it) but now I can recommend the Three Thieves also. Very Good! And a steal at this price.
