Brancott Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc 2007 - Marlborough, New Zealand

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009 | Food Pairings, Wine Tasting Notes, new zealand wines | 1 Comment

One of MANY Sauvignon Blancs out there on the market… just wanted to quickly share my notes…

Brancott Sauvignon Blanc 2007 (SnoothRank: 0/5)
Marlborough (July 2009)

A crisp, peppery white, with notes of green bell pepper, citrus (lemon / lime) even some young tart grapefruit. A tad acidic, so much more lovely when paired with a light meal. Finish was long and it held up to other earthy flavors, such as portabello mushrooms. I paired it with Artichoke stuffed raviolis that were topped with a beure blanc sauce, portabello and fresh spring peas. Added some thyme which brought out some grassy aromas on the wine itself. The wine is rather dry, so food will soften the palatte. Enjoy! myRating: 3/5

Wine Pick of the Month! Mud House Sauvignon Blanc - New Zealand

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009 | Wine Tasting Notes, new zealand wines | No Comments

A short little story about a wine that makes me giddy…

Mud House Sauvignon Blanc, from New Zealand, oh so pretty…

Your bright tings of grapefruit that flourish on my tongue;

the crispness of lemon and lime are fresh and feel so young!

You’re passionate, light and clean; a joy to hold,

outside, at the beach, at a party or in my home.

If you see this fine little dandy at your wine shop of choice,

make sure to grab a bottle and get ready to rejoice! ($10 - $15/ btl….great deal!)

Cheers!
