It is no secret that northern Virginia is now making some of the best American wines, and Jeff White’s 100% Sauvignon Blanc is as complex and intriguing as any I have tasted in recent memory. Usually, Sémillon or other grapes are needed for complexity, but not here – lovely weeded aromas and green-fruit flavors, but that is only an intro to the blue-green exotic, almost tropical, flavors that follow.
