Sitting beneath the feather tree, sipping white wine, 3pm, only a few mosquitos, and no interruptions...
Charles Shaw Sauvignon Blanc 2005 is a pale straw color in the glass with minimal evidence of extraction. The nose is open, smelling of citrus and melon. In the mouth the wine is simple and short, and fairly pure, with flavors of honeydew, sweet grapefruit, a flutter of toast, and some nice minerality. A refreshing, innocuous wine without any noticeable flaws, and certainly worth three dollars in Arizona.
By the way, the Sauvignon Blanc is consistently the only wine by Charles Shaw worth buying, in my honest opinion. The Shiraz is occasionally *okay* and the Cabernet can either be very bad or just reasonable. The Merlot and the Beaujolais are, in my opinion, consistently fake-tasting. The Chardonnay ain't bad, but the Sauvignon Blanc is the best of the bunch.
My two cents on Two Buck Chuck.
