Cable Bay Res. Sauvignon Blanc 2016, Marlborough

Tasting Notes:

Pistachio, mandarin blossom, toasted coriander seed, flinty struck match and guava aromas all come together in a striking fusion. The palate has a lovely toasty backbone surrounded by fine structure, zesty acidity and nice fruit weight through the mid-palate. The finish goes on and on for miles, I can still taste it now; 10 minutes after tasting. This fumé blanc style sauvignon reminds me of a real vivacious go-getter attending a black tie dinner; dressed up in their best clothes, and trying to keep it all together- bubbling with energy on the inside, but maintaining classy conduct on the outside.
