Pale lemon with aromas of tropical and citrus fruits with blossom notes. On the palate flavors of mango, pineapple and citrus zest flavors with blossom and herb notes. Good balance of acidity, medium+ finish ending with floral, mineral and slight grassy notes. Nice! Tasting Sample!

Tonight's wine for a Friday night is the 2019 Nobilo Icon Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough New Zealand.

On the nose there is grass, grapefruit, lime, peach, gooseberry, nectarine and minerality.

The palate reveals lime, grapefruit, white peach, passionfruit, guava, white flowers, grass and good minerality.

This wine is medium bodied with medium + to high acidity and a long clean fresh citrus fruit finish with minerals that move from the mid-palate all the way to the back and for a long pleasing time. Let's have a great weekend the best we can, stay healthy and safe and enjoy yourselves. Nostrovia! 🥂🥂🥂🥂

A little watery, with unsubtle hints of all the flavors you'd expect.
