Play Starring Sauvignon Blanc 2019
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaMy first look at the Play Sauvignon reveals a fresh style with not a lot of aromatics but fairly intense flavours on the palate. The nose offers a faint hint of dried herbs and sagebrush before a soft, warm tropical fruit palate pushes forward. It has lovely ripeness with minimal residual, making it very quaffable and just the thing for a sunny patio while you are self-isolating. It has enough maturity to take on a spicy tuna roll or a lightly spiced curry. Ready to drink. A portion of the blend (25 percent) is kept on fine lees with regular bâtonnage and in a single barrel of François Frères French oak. A solid start. Play Estate sits above the Penticton Airport in the area known as the Wild Horse Mountains.Tasted: 29 March 2020Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $22.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
