General: I bought and enjoyed one of these last summer but took it to a bbq and didn't get to taste it for too long. We tried it this evening at the end of a hot day for our outdoor meal. This wine is often recommended in the wine magazine. See page 148 for the recommendation for the 2010 version.
Varieties: Colombard Sauvignon Blanc
Region/G.I.: Fleurieu, McLaren Vale (SA)
Alcohol: 12.0%
Bouquet: I am not sure what Colombard usually smells like, but this had typical Sauvignon aromas of pungent tropical notes and gooseberry
Flavour: Fruity, true to the aromas with very nice length and some minerality (which is what I remembered about this from tasting it last year). Good acidity. A simple wine which lives up to its name of "young blonde"
Points: 82
Notes: At $15.00 (270 Kc) it's good value.
