Wine Adventure - Alto-Adige, Valpolicella, Soave, Bolgheri, Barbaresco & Barolo; 9/11/2013-9/20/2013 (Italy): Northern Italy can really pull New World flavors out of Sauv Blanc! This wine had a very strong honeysuckle and orange blossom nose that carried through to the palate with a long salted butter finish. Texture was a bit heavier, but I enjoyed the weight. Very soft, but off-setting high acidity. A very pretty Sauv Blanc. Putting some age on it, really developed the wine.

This is a single vineyard wine. Aged in stainless steel and meant to be consumed within 3-5 years after the vintage. Typically has a greener taste to it. I held it for slightly longer than I should but it showed very well. It had a beautiful bouquet of flowers and powder. Medium bodied dry wine. The color was a darker yellow. On the palate it had the greenness that it is known for with notes of peaches and some salty flavors. 90 points.
