2019 Z. Alexander Brown Uncaged Sauvignon Blanc
#01-2022
Don’t tell the Chardonnay Queen that I said this, but I usually prefer Sauvignon Blanc to Chardonnay, for most dinner fare. Recently, we paired this offering from the North Coast of California with a Shrimp and Bay Scallop Casserole featuring Orzo, and it was a real hit! Good effort from the leader of the Zac Brown Band!
This is a big fruit Sauvignon Blanc, with tropical aromas in its nose, and a strong dose of lemon and lime in its flavor spectrum, also a hint of honeysuckle and orange to complement its melon tendencies. It finishes clean and crisp, and the alcohol content is 14.5%. Norm’s score is 89.
I would pair this wine with a host of foods, including Chicken Piccata and Eggplant Parmesan.
Score: 89
Price: $15-$20
