Mission Hill S.L.C. Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2003

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaRestrained grassy, mineral, grapefruit mixed with green fig, clover and smoky mineral aromas with a hint of honey and vanilla lees. It's made in an elegant dry style with grassy, vanilla, creamy fig, grapefruit rind flavours with a light kiwi, smoky mineral finish. Fine crispness on the finish. Think Graves meeting the Loire in British Columbia. A fine first effort, especially given the smoke and fires that wreaked havoc in Okanagan vineyards.Tasted: 01 February 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
