Cedergreen Cellars 2007 Sauvignon Blanc

Last April at Taste Washington, I had the opportunity to meet Kevin Cedergreen and try some of his wines. Cedergreen’s booth was my ﬂrst stop of the day and ended up being one of the more memorable. Not only was I taken with Kevin’s riesling, old vine

chenin blanc, and sauv blanc, but I really enjoyed hearing Kevin tell his story about how he became a winemaker.

Following Kevin’s suggestion, we paired his sauv blanc with a grilled King salmon Ceasar salad. On the eyes, the Cedergreen was a light yellow/green color. On the nose, it had a slight hint of green grass followed by melon and mineral notes… (and on) the palate, it offered bright acidity and a clean ﬁnish… And I am eager to pick up a bottle of Kevin’s smaller production chenin blanc and riesling before its gone.
