Tasting - "Yealands Estate Sauvignon Blanc"

Yealands Estate Sauvignon Blanc
Sauvignon Blanc
Seaview Vineyards
New Zealand
2008
$21-$7.95

Critic Review
This aromatic wine shows lifted flavours of blackcurrant with underlying notes of wet stone and thyme. The palate is elegant yet full with sufficient weight and texture, balanced by a flinty minerality. This wine is a fantastic match with foods such as cheese salad, poultry dishes and a wide range of seafood dishes including freshly shucked natural oysters, prawns, green lip mussels and creamy scallops.

My Review
  • Smell: earthy, flinty, cherry, light
  • Taste: white grape, cherry, strawberry, earthy
  • This wine had a very stone/rocky after taste, that was mildly dry
Overall this wine was very light and would pair fantastic with seafood. I did not pair this wine with food.
