winemaker's notes:

The 2011 Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc is a straw green color, with a fresh, intensely concentrated aromas of tropical fruits infused with ripe citrus notes, complemented by lifted hints of lemongrass and passionfruit. It has a fine texture and acidity, with a degree of minerality and a lasting, refreshingly crisp finish on the palate. This wine is a perfect match with white meats, pale cheeses and seafood (especially oysters and scallops).

alcohol by volume: 13.5%

critical acclaim:

"Complex on the nose and richly textured in the mouth, this wine delivers it all. Hints of struck flint and wild onion accent grapefruit aromas, while the flavors range easily from pink grapefruit and red currant to delicate herb shadings. It’s full without being too full, with a potent yet refreshing finish that seemingly lingers forever."

Wine Enthusiast

"The 2011 Sauvignon Blanc gives notes of pink grapefruit, apples and orange blossoms with suggestions of sulphides and ginger. The medium-bodied palate lends a pleasant touch of silkiness to the texture, with crisp acid supporting the elegant fruit, and finishing long."

I liked the way this wine tasted but I had a hard time with the bouquet. I put me off with every sip. It was a mix of old barrel and gym socks. I thought maybe it was my sinuses to blame as the seasonal allergies were kicking in, but I went back later to check it out again after my nose calmed down and it smelled just as bad to me. A pity for a good tasting wine.

Nice green notes, fairly balanced. Pleasant going down, very drinkable & no complaints, just not outstanding.
