Arizona is an up-and-coming region in the wine world, one that seems to be coming into its own more and more with every bottle I get the opportunity to taste. Oak Creek’s Sauvignon Blanc leans toward the Old World in style, with aromas tending to white flowers and stony minerality rather than the forward fruit of New World examples. A hint of malt is attractive, with tart Sorrento lemon and a little pithy note on the palate. Very interesting wine!
