This goes for about $11 - we don't drink enough Sauvignon Blanc and it seemed like it may be a good pairing with a buffalo chicken pizza.A "tropical" nose - snow on the ground, this just doesn't smell right with grapefruit, pineapple, maybe even mango.
Fruity, perhaps a tad sweet, but great acid to balance it - a touch creamy, mostly tropical, mango is more pronounced, papaya, pineapple, pink grapefruit.
A bit of white grapefruit on the finish - some more tart qualities come through, stronger (yet less sweet) pineapple, and certainly papaya.
A nice bottle of wine to be sure...if you have one, save it for a warm day, it just seems cruel to open this in the winter.

ReplyDeleteI have Nobilo limited release 2008 and Nobilo Silver Cove 2009, both were £5, on my rack. Looking forward to compare the tasting notes on both!
