Pentâge Winery Sauvignon Blanc - Semillon 2008
Skaha Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe latest "Bordeaux" white bend from Pentâge mixes roughly 2/3 sauvignon blanc with sémillon projecting a fresh grassy, citrus, nettle nose. The attack is equally fresh and round with gooseberry guava and tropical fruit notes throughout with bits of mint and spice in the back end. The texture is perfect, the new Stelvin closure has also added some brightness and lift to what is a great seafood match.Tasted: 28 August 2011Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $20.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
