Nothing like New Zealand SB. This wine is deep yellow with a nose and palatte of melons and florals. A hint of sweetness balances the typical acidity. Quite pleasant.

Granted, I’m not very familiar with Bordeaux SB, but this is nothing like mainstream New Zealand and California wines. If you’re looking for citrus or grassy aromas and flavors you won’t find them here. Still, I found it pleasant enough with fruit and the influence of barrel aging. Perhaps I did miss a touch more acidity.

Slight golden color; A bit of toasty vanilla to accompany the tart grapefruit and gooseberry. Leaner than expected if it were blended with Semillon. Does see some barrel age.

Blind Bordeaux - Tipplers Tasting Group (Grapes & Grains, Temecula, CA): Tasted blind. Correctly identified as 100% Sauvignon Blanc.
