Tasting - Takutai Sauvignon Blanc


Name: Takutai Sauvignon Blanc
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Nelson
Country: New Zealand
Year: 2009
Price: $14.95

Winery Review: 88 points, Wine Spectator
A juicy and vibrant white, this delivers spiced pear and apple flavors that have a mouthwatering lemony note.  Shades of fresh-cut grass and herb chime in on the finish.  Drink now.  15,000 cases made.-MW

My review: Cedar and smoky on the nose.  Bitter and bold on the mid-palate, but has a very smooth finish.  Hints of lemon, grass and asparagus.  I did not have this wine with food, but I believe food would round it out.
