| TASTING NOTE: This an amiable, balanced and bright sauvignon with classic aromas of passion fruit, green pepper, fresh mint, chive and celery notes. It's medium weight, well balanced with vague sweetness that nicely balances the fresh acidity. The length is very good to excellent. Score - 89 (David Lawrason, winealign.com, June 8, 2017) |
