Black Hills Alibi 2003
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaWe hear that winemaker Senka Tennant spent some time hanging out with famed Loire Valley winemaker Didier Dagueneau, alternately known as the wild man of Pouilly and the best producer in the appellation. Clearly she is an excellent student because Alibi 2003 is among the best ever three white wines we have tasted in British Columbia and one of the best we have had this year from anywhere in the world. The 85/15 blend of sauvignon blanc and sémillon blend jumps out of the glass offering super clean, grassy, citrus, honey, vanilla, green apple fruit aromas with an underlying mineral and clover quality. It's ripe, round and rich with good acidity and elegance. Fresh green apple, honey, flinty, chalky, grapefruit flavours with a touch of fig and vanilla finish slightly austere. A super effort for this winery and a great seafood wine. Drink now or should improve over the next 1-2 years.Tasted: 27 July 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $23.90 | 750ml | Private Wine Shops |
