Hector Wine Company Sauvignon Blanc

This 2009 inaugural vintage Sauvignon Blanc is a solid white player in the region. No one will argue that Riesling is the forefront varietal here in the Finger Lakes wine region, but with some coaxing, I see much potential in the Sauvignon Blanc. This particular wine is the first vintage from this brand new winery, but the grapes come from a veteran vineyard just across the street. This wine is well balanced; it has plenty of acid and minerality to work with a number of different cheeses. I tasted it with an aged sharp provolone. It worked, but a milder provolone would be a hit. This is definitely a food wine, otherwise the yeast will linger a bit too long on the palate. GOOD.
