Scents reminiscent of a freshly cracked green bean and smoky minerals can be discerned in the aromas of the 2000 Sauvignon Blanc. Rich, filled with spices as well as candied lemons, and beautifully nuanced, this precise, crystalline wine is light to medium-bodied, flavorful, and possesses a long, expressive finish. Drink it over the next 2-3 years. Importer: Cape Classics, New York, NY; Tel. (212) 686-1300.

Restrained, but there's enough good grapefruit and hay flavors here to hold interest, with a nice, refreshing finish. Drink now.??–JM??Region: South Africa / Western Cape / Coastal Region / Constantia Select to Add
