Patricia Green Cellars, Willamette Valley (Oregon) Sauvignon Blanc 2022

 Sauvignon Blanc, while being one of the world’s more planted grapes, is hard to find in the Willamette Valley.  Only 29 wineries currently produce Sauvignon Blanc from the valley and Patricia Green sources this Sauvignon Blanc from four locations.  Over a quarter of the grapes are sourced from a location listed as “Greg’s House” which apparently does quite well, although the location requires more time for the grapes to ripen.  The wine itself is delicious.  It has a weightiness that I’ve only found in Sauvignon Blancs from the Loire Valley.  The abundant acidity is in balance with the fruit throughout the body.  Patricia Green Cellars stands behind Willamette Valley’s ability to produce quality Sauvignon Blanc and this wine is an excellent example as proof.
