Burrowing Owl Sauvignon Blanc 2012
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaBarrel-aged sauvignon from the Similkameen is a welcomed new label at Burrowing Owl. Cool and crisp the fresh, tropical fruit notes mixed with passion fruit seems a bit stunned by the oaked but otherwise the first edition is up to scratch. The palate is dry and textured with zingy zesty lemony fruit with a dusting of minerality and more toasted oak notes. Another year in bottle will likely help this white pull it all together. Drink in the summer of 2014 with creamy seafood dishes.Tasted: 01 January 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $20.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
