Tasting - The Crossing Sauvignon Blanc


Name: The Crossing Sauvignon Blanc
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Medway
Country: New Zealand
Year: 2011
Price: $16.95

Robert Parker Review: "The Crossings 2011 Sauvignon Blance presents a pronounced nose of passion fruit, pink grapefruit, and bay leaf with a slightly sweaty/ musky undercurrent.  Medium bodied, crisp and with a good concentration of apple and citrus flavors, it finishes medium-long.  Drink it now to 2013.  86 Points."

My Review:  This was my first tasting at the Gourmet Pantry in Blacksburg.  On the nose it was flowery, with hints of grapefruit.  Citrus coupled with sweet flavors and a smooth, clean finish.  I did not have this wine with food.
