Wine Review: This straw-colored Sauvignon Blanc from Margaret River opens with a tomato leaf and yellow grapefruit bouquet with hints of green peas and honeydew melon. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with plus acidity. The mouthfeel is round, brisk, fresh, and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a tart yellow grapefruit and nectarine pit blend with notes of stony minerality, white pepper, and lime zest. I also detected hints of Anjou pear and white tea. The finish is dry and refreshing. I would pair this zippy Sauvignon Blanc with swordfish kabobs. Enjoy – Ken
Winemaker Notes: A nose with bounce and spark, an abundance of lychee, lime and lemon, and guava combine with the aromatics of clove, fennel bulb, thyme, and lemongrass. Lively, yet complex; the perfect balance is maintained. The palate is fragrant with presence, poise, layers, and textures. Bursting lime, lemon zest, mandarin and gooseberries provide the direction on the palate. The highlight is the mid-palate texture, creating balance and elegant length. Subtle sweet spices thread the aforementioned, coiled by a line of fine acidity.
