$13, 5 stars, 91 points, marlborough, new zealand, Sauvignon blanc
Pale straw colored with a watery sheen (13% ABV). The nose has intense aromas of cut grass, asparagus, gooseberry, Kaffir lime, peach and orange blossom. The palate is dry with high acidity and a medium (-) body. Tart yet refreshing I get medium (+) intensity flavors of lemon, Kaffir lime, gooseberry, cut grass and dare I say it- cat pee? (I actually like this note in my Sav Blanc every so often). The wine has a crispness to it and is laser focused. The finish is medium to long in length and the fruit warms up a bit- not as zesty as the opening. I like this $13 bottle- a lot. 91 points worth and 5 stars from me. A fascinating story about the winemakers- look it up here https://www.mcbridesisters.com/pages/story. Drink till 2025. Salut….
