Lemon oil, pineapple core, kumquat. Lemongrass? Round, not extraordinarily herbal, lovely length. First Indian wine! Later vintages are apparently oaked, this one is not

The 2016 vintage of Krsma's delicious Sauvignon Blanc is just off the press, so to speak. It sports a lovely nose, rich and clean simultaneously, and vibrant acidity that dances on the palate, making it a great food wine. No extremes of cat pee or fresh cut grass. Instead, this wine shows a complex array of aromas of wet straw, green hay, chalky minerality, and mimosa flowers. You know it is a balanced portrayal of Sauvignon Blanc. This wine has an unusually long, tapered and penetrating finish, and lovely projection on the nose. As is often the case with just released wines, it will need time to fully integrate and show at its best, but the promise is there. This wine competes on the world stage.

Unmistakenly Sauvignon Blanc. The sensation of cats pee hit you right at your nose as soon as you inhale. On the palate, it offers up very bright fruit profile - lots of tangerine, cantaloupe, and stone fruits. Good wine!
