The gorgeous 2004 Sauvignon Blanc exhibits copious honeyed melon, lemon grass, and citrus (particularly lime) characteristics in its medium-bodied, zesty, fresh personality. Drink it over the next 1-2 years. I consistently enjoy the wines from Nepenthe, a large, cool-climate viticultural management company in South Australia. Their reds and whites tend to be pure, fragrant efforts with crisp acidity as well as loads of fruit, all presented in an elegant style.Importer: Peter Click, Click Imports, Seattle, WA; tel.

Bright and appealing for its pear and sweet pea aromas and flavors, persisting nicely on the relatively delicate finish. Drink now. 6,000 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / Adelaide Hills Select to Add

My first reaction to this wine was that it’s made in a safe, please-everyone style. With some air, a pretty citrus-pulp flavor and texture also emerges. Very good. Imported by Click Wine Group. ——D.T.(8/1/2005)—— 87
