Review: 2014 Atalon Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley
Atalon has been releasing wines since 1997, with just three offerings on the table — two reds, and this sauvignon blanc.
Intensely grassy, this is sauvignon blanc that at first showcases a wine pushed to its herbal limits. As it develops, notes of grapefruit peel and saltwater taffy give this wine an extreme profile, a bitter-sour attack leading to an increasingly sweet finish. This is a wine that defies easy categorization — except for drinkers who, I’m sure, will largely either love it or hate it.
