Mission Hill S.L.C. Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2006

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe best SLC blend we have tasted. This sauvignon blanc sémillon blend is not meant to be an ode to Bordeaux but rather to the ambitious New Zealand sauvignon. Kiwi winemaker John Simes has tweaked this blend to perfection from its bright grapefruit/green melon nose to its rich, smoky, gooseberry, vanilla, lees flavours. Very complex and inviting with taut crisp styling. Good value.Tasted: 08 August 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
