| TASTING NOTE: The 2016 Sauvignon Blanc, which comes from 17 different parcels around the Walker Bay area, offers attractive gooseberry, nettle and light chalky scents on the nose that opens nicely with aeration. The palate is balanced with crisp acidity, a touch of spice on the tip of the tongue on the entry, nettle and gooseberry laced with ginger towards the vivacious finish with just a hint of asparagus on the aftertaste. Drink Date: 2017-2023. Score - 89 (Neal Martin, robertparker.com, April 28, 2017) |
