The 2005 Sauvignon Blanc offers textbook melony, fig, lemon, honeyed notes, light body, clean, fresh fruit, and a dry finish. Drink it over the next year. There are enormous quantities of these popular low-end wines, but they often get abused by distributors and retailers and hence are damaged by heat. However, when tasted under pristine conditions, they represent remarkable values. The newest releases are better than any previous efforts, and demonstrate the commitment of Barossa’s Yalumba Wine Company to provide consumers with a remarkable glass of wine for a lowly price. All of these fresh, lively reds and whites reveal correct varietal characteristics, and are finished with screw caps.Importer: Negociants, USA, Napa CA; tel. (707) 259-0993
