Daniel P. Drake

The wine I opened is the 2021 Paddy Borthwick Sauvignon Blanc from Wairarapa, Gladstone New Zealand.

On the nose there is grapefruit, lime, white peach, mango, grass, herbal notes, minerality and a bit of flint.

On the palate there is grapefruit, lime, white peach, herbaceous and minerality.

This is a beautiful well rounded medium bodied wine with a clean fresh mouthfeel medium + mouthwatering acidity that leaves you with a long citrus mineral finish. Enjoy your wines this weekend and be sure to try something different. Please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🥂🥂🥂🥂

Trying out all the highly rated $10.00-$20.00 whites to guzzle during the summer heat & Beach bike rides. This is a wine advocate 91 for $15.00
1. Novellum,ridiculous for $10.00
2. Substance
3. This one
4. Matias Santa Lucia Highlands
But basically splitting hairs on all of them,
Matias is the most complex.

Grapefruit. Some lime. Hints of stone fruits. Solid Sauvignon Blanc.

Sweet, flowery bouquet, with a salty, briny aftertaste. Best if paired with clean, fresh, seafood (oysters, poached shrimp, etc.).
