Stoneleigh Sauvignon Blanc 2000
Marlborough, South Island, New ZealandThe Stoneleigh sauvignon is about to arrive and despite a small crop that has hurt production, the warm summer has produced a concentrated, juicy wine with plenty of in-your-face, Marlborough aromatics. Look for an enticing mix of melon and stone fruit aromas that give way to more passion fruit and grass in the mouth. Like so many new Marlborough sauvignons, it is rounder and smoother than previous editions, and much less aggressive around the edges. Pork, chicken or light, spicy Asian dishes would make a fine match. Tasted: 01 September 2001Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $14.95 | 750ml |
