Howling Bluff Sauvignon Blanc Reserve Three Mile Creek 2016
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaLuke Smith has persisted with this Graves-style white and at 14 years of vine age, the wines are really delivering. Three Mill Creek Vineyard is the source of fruit that is barrel-fermented in 60 percent new French oak puncheons before it's aged four months in older oak. Fresh and lively, it mixes passion fruit with lime and herbal notes. Just when you think the fruit is too much, there is a bitter note to keep it all in line. Rich enough for veal or chicken, but it would be fine with mussels too.Tasted: 02 July 2016Tasted by: Prices:BC | $25.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
