Tenuta dell'Ornellaia
Poggio alle Gazze Toscana Sauvignon Blanc
Fascinating with bright lemon lime citrus fruit, followed by a creamy meringue of underripe papaya. A mouthfeel reminiscent of Bordeaux Blanc. The Viognier has given this some weight.

Mar 14th, 2017Very interesting - cream of the viognier, wet slate and acid from the sav blanc, white flowers from the (sav Gris?) - elegance and approachability from the oak- superb. Lemongrass, fennel, and kumquat. Like a top Bordeaux blanc that is less acidic.
