Oxford Landing Estates Sauvignon Blanc 2012
Pungent aromatics, heavy tropicals and gooseberry tones clearly mark it out as sauvignon Blanc.
Simple, clean, but showing balance. There's varietal character here - chalky, citrus, lychee notes, hints of green apple.
Tropical hints remain on the finish. Not complex, but if you're seeking complexity at $9 then I'd question why you're reading a wine blog.

Fair point Stu but I may suggest they are reading a blog to find good value wine at that price point.
ReplyDeleteWould you buy it for $9?
No I wouldn't buy it for $9.
DeleteIt was clean and offered varietal character. But not what I would drink.
Call me a snob, but I didn't start blogging to drink wines of personal limited appeal.
Spending just a few $ more would get you into 'Y' series territory with significant qualitative improvement.
