Blue Mountain Sauvignon Blanc 2013

Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaConsistently one of BC's top sauvignon blanc, the 2013 is better than ever. The oak treatment (35 percent fermented and aged in 2-4 year old French oak for 4 months) is reminiscent of Bordeaux, but the whole cluster press, crisp green apple acidity, herbal pear, tart gooseberry and lemon curd are reflective of these OK Falls' estate vines and Blue Mountain's finessed style. White grapefruit on the nose carries through to the finish, with fine lees and spice over the medium bodied palate. This wine can age, but enjoy now with halibut, sablefish or goat cheese quiche.Tasted: 12 December 2014Tasted by: Prices:
