88 Points

Tuesday, November 1, 2011 - I adore this more than the score shows. Not recognizable as modern sauvignon blanc, it has the amber hue of beer, and the aromas of canned peaches, litchi, and tangerine peel. Those elements are echoed in the palate, with hints of fruit cocktail, bitter orange, and yeast. As the wine opens it is Elderflower Cordial all the way. Strange, wonderful, and wild. A wine experience, rather than a clear varietal example. Still, this is instructive in terms of what Sauvignon Blanc CAN do (should you want it to...) I always love my Farina wines, because they are so strange and yet oddly riveting!
