Sauvignon Blanc Lovers, here you go! 95 pts – International Wine Challenge / 91 pts Wine Spectator. Only 360 cases made, it is almost ridiculous having a wine of this caliber in a wine club for the price. What are the words to describe? Pristine, Fresh, Aromatic, Elegant with character- Love it! This 2008 Sauvignon Blanc is simply outstanding! Lime green color flecked with straw, clear and bright. The nose is complex and sophisticated - immediate impression is that of concentration and flintiness with exuberant aromatic aromas of fresh lemongrass, guava and citrus fruit. A core of well integrated minerality links the youthful fruitiness of the nose to those aromas offering confidence in maturity. This wine has a fine fruit/acid balance and is most certainly a sophisticated wine with its spicy mid-palate and lingering, crisp finish. This is a wine that will age with distinction and is also perfect to drink now.
