Zing! Youthful, zesty, and super bright, this Sauv Blanc collects its $200 and blows right past go. Ultralight Champagne color and a nose like lilacs on a cold spring morning - muted, but hinting at what's to come. Unapologetically alive. Expressive fruit not kept in check by anything, but the semi-tart acids are along for the ride.
Not for fans of the subdued or mellow. Fresh-cut grass meets citrus bowl in a salivary gland-stimulating extravaganza. Pure New Zealand style.
Picked as the crowd favorite SB at the Best Of 2010 Tasting. At under $9 (maybe even less), this is a sizzling deal on a hit-you-over-the-head experience.
