Mission Hill Sauvignon Blanc 2002

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaYou would think sauvignon might have a higher profile at Mission Hill given winemaker John Simes New Zealand background and his earlier work with Marlborough sauvignon but it doesn't seem to get any extra attention. The '02 sauvignon should have wide appeal with its ripe melon and canned grapefruit. It's much rounder than previous additions with less grass and pepper and more ripe fruit. Clean, fresh B.C. white made for summer sipping and West Coast oysters.Tasted: 22 May 2003Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
