COMMENTARY: The 2019 Layer Cake Sauvignon Blanc is a well-made wine. TASTING NOTES: This wine delivers ripe fruit aromas and flavors and a streak of ripe citrus. Enjoy it with steamed Dungeness crab. (Tasted: October 19, 2020, San Francisco, CA)
Recognized for its distinctively herbaceous and aromatic, Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand is perfectly suited to the grape with its maritime climate, plenty of rainfall and abundant sunshine. Producers have almost unilaterally embraced cutting-edge winery technology, resulting in clean, high-quality wines at every price point from wallet-friendly to premium. Sauvignon blanc is at its best in Marlborough but thrives throughout as the country. It is New Zealand’s most planted and successful variety, also accounting for an overwhelming majority of its exports.
