Sam Miranda 2011 Cellar Door Release Sauvignon Blanc

Varieties: Sauvignon Blanc 85%, Savagnin, 10% and Petit Manseng 5%
Region/G.I.: North East Victoria, King Valley
Vintage: 2011
Alcohol: 12.0%
Bouquet: Subtle aromas of gooseberry, lemon and hints of late summer grass 
Flavour: Quite a bit on the palate. The fruit flavours are consistent with nose and there is good acidity holding this together. The surprise is the length which is medium, rather than the short burst of fruit and acidity one expects from a Sav Blanc.
Points: 84 (3+6+11+7+7+50)
Notes: At $15.50 (~ 280 Kc), this is a well priced, slightly out of the ordinary Sav Blanc. I am keen to try more from this producer
