title: Murphy-Goode 1999 Fumé II The Deuce Sauvignon Blanc (Sonoma County)
description: Any SB boasting 14.5% alcohol is going to come across as being real big, and this one does for sure. But beyond its heft, it offers underripe melon, pear and butter flavors and an odd cheesy quality. There's also a forest's worth of oak here, which makes it heavy rather than balanced.
variety: Sauvignon Blanc
designation: Fumé II The Deuce
