	Sauvignon blanc - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sauvignon blanc is a white wine grape probably originating in the Bordeaux region of France that is now planted in much of the world's winelands producing a crisp dry refreshing white varietal wine.
		In California until the 1970s it was usually made as a nondescript semi-sweet wine until Robert Mondavi made a dry varietal he named Fumé Blanc (a reference to Pouilly Fumé) which became so successful that the name Fumé Blanc is now recognised as a legal synonym for Sauvignon Blanc in the US.
		Dry and sweet white Bordeaux, typically made with Sauvignon blanc as a major component, is the one exception.

	{ Sauvignon Blanc }
		Sauvignon Blanc has a very strong personality, and as its name implies (Sauvignon = sauvage = savage) that personality can be untamed--green and bitter--in the hands of a vintner who cannot control it.
		This fact can make buying and enjoying Sauvignon Blanc very difficult for the consumer, who may assume that one brand of Sauvignon Blanc will be very similar to another and ends up unpleasantly surprised when she finds out that they taste entirely different.
		The newest entry into the high quality Sauvignon Blanc club is New Zealand, whose vintners have strived to highlight the characteristics of their cool climate and have developed a lean and racy style with an aggressive flavor attack.

		Callaway Sauvignon Blanc California 1998 ($7.99): Pale straw; light, soft grass & grapefruit, hints of lemon on the nose; in the mouth a bit generic, but crisp & light, maybe a touch of sweetness.
		Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough 1998 ($19.99): Soft, light nose--this strikes me right away as being in the style of the softer 1997 rather than the much more extravagant 1996, although after tasting it a bit more it seems to have hit a middle ground between the two.
		It's vivid Marlborough sauvignon, bright and effusive, with a sense of balance along the lines of the 97, not quite as extreme as the 96, but zingy and cheerful with rounded edges.

		Sauv blanc expresses itself best when made in stainless steel, but many winemakers, imitating the seductive flavors of chardonnay, insist on barrel fermentation (sometimes in new oak) and a secondary (malolactic) fermentation, guaranteed to strip away any trace of varietal character.
