This Sauvignon Blanc started out unimpressive and over time opened up into a very, very good wine.
Very light gold color. Nose weak at first, but then developed into a very "biological" nose of ripe gooseberries, earthy, crushed, wet limestone, and fresh oregano leaves (a lemony/herbal streak). Soft and mouthfilling, yet with sparklingly bright flavors -- great minerality and zesty lemon-lime fruit. Lots of length. You might even think about decanting this one to get it to open up quicker! 89.
Was $22.99 at Richard's on Voss and San Felipe. Imported by Robert Kacher.
