2021 La Pelle Sauvignon Blanc

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

95 Points

Sunday, December 17, 2023 - Hard Seltzers vs. Hard Liquor vs. Wine: N: Fresh lime zest, tall stalks of dried straw, pineapple rinds, a squeeze of lime juice, white berries and crushed dried limestone gravel.

P: Light pastry treats like a lemon tart wrapped with fresh acidity, clean and dried tree bark, with bitter lime zest and gently spiced, but clean, minerals trailing into the finish. On day 3, there are notes as if this has gone through some malo, showing a touch of butteriness and airy creaminess.

This has such an exciting and fresh nose, with an awesome swiftness and crispiness to match on the palate. Serve at a cooler temp for a more pronounced freshness. This may very well be a go-to sauvignon blanc for me. Would’ve loved some raw Cherrystone clams or oysters with this.
