If Sauvignon Blanc has an elegant side, this wine is leaning hard in that direction. The varietal markers are here — lemon, freshly cut grass, melon, stony minerality — but they’re dialed back beautifully, each element speaking clearly without shouting. The finish is cleansing and subtle, with a burst of citrus at the end. Nicely realized by Hocking Hills Winery’s winemaker Ryan Scott — in Ohio!
