Our resident wine consultant over at the ABC store recommended this white Bordeaux to Allison a couple of weeks ago. This one is a blend of 50% Sauvignon Blanc and 50% Semillon.
The nose was ripe with citrus fruit and some crispness that did not carry over to the palate. The palate was fairly fat and almost chardonnay like in weight. The fruit was present in the front, but quickly took on a secondary role to notes of wet stone and herbs with slight hints of white pepper on the finish.
This was not a bad effort by any stretch, and would probably be quite nice with a summer salad or lightly grilled seafood or chicken but it was a bit heavy for our tastes. We probably would not buy it on our own again but if it were offered to us at a party we would not turn it down either. This one was $14.99 a bottle here in FL.
Cheers!
