General: This is another of the wines from where I am currently contracting. Friday afternoon, it's warm and 16:00. This is a lovely way to finish the week.
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region/GI: Mount Lofty Ranges
Subregion: Adelaide Hills, SA
Alcohol: 13%
Bouquet: Rich, overripe gooseberry. Other tropical hints in existence.
Flavour: The flavour follows the nose. It's clean and crisp with good acidity and a lingering mineral finish.
Points: 84
Notes: This is one of the better Sav Blancs tasted this summer. I'm tempted to bump its scoring a little higher but this is the points scored as I was drinking it. Online, I can see it for $16.00 (265 Kc) per bottle when bought in case, so I guess it normally retails at $20-$22 per bottle. Looking forward to next Friday's drinks already...
