It's not often one comes across an Oregon sauvignon blanc, for this variety is the lowest production grape in the state. Seeing a bottle of Patricia Green 2007 Sauvignon Blanc Oregon for $18 at my local retailer, I was intrigued enough to give it a try.

The Patricia Green sauv blanc was a light golden yellow/green color in the glass. On the nose, it delivered a fragrance of fresh asparagus, green pepper, and grass. In the mouth, the flavors were lacking while it definitely lived up to the winemaker's notes of being "high-toned". I found the dry, sour finish of this wine not very appealing. Overall, it seemed to lack structure and balance.

I would pass on buying this wine again, but might try another Oregon sauv blanc in the future. In the meantime, I'll stick to Washington fruit sources for this variety, as it offers a style much more to my liking.
