Single Vineyard Martinborough Sauvignon Blanc

Could nose on this gal for days. Fresh aromas - passion fruit stood out, with some tangerine notes playing a sonnet on my tongue.

Dec 18th, 2020Super grassy citrus and GREEN! a little bell pepper at the end. Lots of acid, green and vegetal on the palate. So very different from Loire Valley. Table Wine online Get to Know Sauv Blanc class, and my #gotm2020 for May! Went fantastic with a green Thai curry the next night.

Nice lacing. Apricot, crisp apple aromas. Lite acid with bright fruity notes and a hint of sweet in finish.

Oct 13th, 2017Tangy at first with a sweet finish that doesn't linger too long. Very crisp and refreshing

Oct 13th, 2017I've long been a fan of Sauvignon Blanc, especially those from new Zealand. Most of my top choices have been from the Marlborough region, so I thought giving this new region would be nice. Unfortunately, the results were less than I'd hoped. Not sure what it was but something was just too sweet for my palate.
