Chateau Ste. Michelle Sauvignon Blanc Horse Heaven Vineyard 2000
Columbia Valley, Washington, United StatesFull, ripe aromas of grapefruit and passion fruit with a touch of smoky oak. It's clean and crisp on the palate with dry mineral vanilla grapefruit and gooseberry flavours. Finish is fine with creamy lees vanilla notes. It's quite young and should benefit from another 12 to 18 months in bottle. Well-balanced sophisticated Loire style wine.Tasted: 01 September 2001Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $29.95 | 750ml | Speculative Charton - Hobbs |
