Wine Review: This almost clear colored Sauvignon Blanc from Tom Eddy is a classic New Zealand styled offering. It opens with a grassy and ripe yellow grapefruit bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, crisp and displays lively acidic. The flavor profile is yellow grapefruit with notes of mild green pepper, lime and minerality. The finish is dry, refreshing and its acidity linger for quite some time. This wine would pair well with grilled swordfish kabobs. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Hints of classic Marlborough Sauvignon herbal qualities complement other complex characteristics of grapefruit, white pear, green grass, and gooseberry. The wine’s intense aromatics are reinforced on the palate with a subtle minerality and mouth-watering acidity. The concentrated finish is crisp, clean and long-lasting. The wine’s tasting profile matches perfectly with a variety of foods (like fresh oysters!) but is easily enjoyed by itself on a hot summer day. Cheers!
