WTN: 07 already?

by Nicholas Grenier » Mon Mar 24, 2008 9:55 pm

2007 Southern Right Sauvignon Blanc. Walker Bay, South Africa. Green pepper leaps from the glass immediately but mellows quickly, giving the sea shell notes and citrus fruit a chance to come forward. There's a hint of lime behind the mineral palate. A surge of acid accompanies the herbal finish. Paired with lemony broccoli and chickpea Rigatoni. Citrus flavors worked in unison while the wine's herbal/grassy notes sat quietly, a mineral bass line maintained throughout. Good pairing. After dinner, the volume inches its way up and the green pepper wants to play again. Very interesting wine.

Time does fly.

You might want to use the WTN: prefix on your notes, even if they have non-specific titles, as that's how we recognize a tasting note is in there somewhere.

Thanks David. I often overlook the small but important details.

It will not be too long before the first of the '08 savvies are on the market here. Looking forward to them.
Cheers,
Neil Courtney
