Clos du Bois Sauvignon Blanc California White Wine

Sauvignon Blanc is a white grape that official guides describe as usually dry, with a clear aroma and refreshing acidity. This one comes from California. The winery says Frank Woods founded Clos du Bois in 1974, so the name on the front has a person and a year behind it. We do not have a shopper rating for this bottle.

Official guides describe citrus, green herbs and gooseberry in the grape. Those same guides say the character shifts with the weather where the grapes grow: cooler sites lean toward the green and citrus notes, while riper fruit from warmer spots can turn more tropical. Sweetness and oak use vary across the category.

In September 2026 we checked three stores and saw prices from $11.99 to $14.99, which puts it among the lower-priced whites we track.

Clos du Bois's own product page for the current 2025 vintage adds a specific account to the category description above. Its tasting notes describe a crisp wine opening with lemongrass and lime zest aromas and juicy melon and white peach notes, from fruit the producer says comes from vineyards offering “ideal conditions for fruit to thrive”. The page does not publish an alcohol percentage or state whether the wine saw any oak.

Our call: a fair pick if that lemongrass-and-melon producer account matches the crisp, dry style you already want in a Sauvignon Blanc, at a price among the lower end of the whites we track. Pass if you want a shopper rating behind it; none is in our record for this bottle, and the alcohol content and winemaking remain unconfirmed.
