Puckering tropical mineral citrus palate, mineral grass topnotes, I think I understand why it's so popular. It's got everything you'd expect from this grape, wrapped in a southern hemisphere package. You can't go wrong bringing this bottle to a summer get-together.
The 2013 Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc, sourced from the Wairau and Awatere Valleys in Marlborough, has intense aromas of gooseberry, grape stems, light lees and lime on the nose and gooseberry and lime on the palate. It is a light to medium bodied, dry, fruity wine; with notable acidity and a medium finish. Drink with food; drink now – 2016+. Rated 87-88 pts. Tasted Dec/13.
