Catalina Sounds Sauv Blanc 09

$19.45 750 MLS

2009 ANZWA Champion Sauvignon Blanc, the Catalina Sounds Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2009 (19.0/20), at 12.5% alc., and 3.7 g/l rs, with 3% fermented in oak. Pale straw in colour, this had superb intensity of tropical fruits, passion fruit and subtle, but definite pungent ‘sweaty’ notes on the nose. The palate was dry and piercing with its depth, still tight and concentrated, this possessed great line and length to its concentration. Everything was in proportion here. RC Dec 09
