O. Fournier B Crux Sauvignon Blanc 2011
Vista Flores, Valle de Uco, Tunuyán, Central Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaThe fruit is grown at Vista Flores, Mendoza at 1100 meters and the harvest normally gets underway in Mid-February. There is an 8-hour maceration followed by a cold ferment in stainless steel. Look for a spicy, nutty, grassy, grapefruit, gooseberry, nettle nose with hints of artichoke. The attack is dry and fresh and crisp but with a slightly austere palate. Grapefruit, gooseberry, lemon, grassy, jalapeno, herbal flavours. The style is juicy, tart and austere and needs another year to round out.Tasted: 15 February 2012Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| ON | $13.00 | 750ml | LCBO |
