This light and approachable wine boasts easy notes of green apple, melon rind and a touch of hay. The mouth shows more citrus dominance, with a brisk lemon-lime character staying through the finish. Drink now.——L.B.(3/1/2012)—— 86

Honeydew melon, gooseberry and lime in the nose of Two Oceans’ 2009 Sauvignon Blanc lead to a glossy-textured, quite luscious palate that retains delightful refreshment right through to a finish whose slight bitterness merely adds to the sense of invigoration. This wine represents a step up – in ripeness and polish – from last year’s rendition and as such an amazing value as well as a delightful “refrigerator white” for the coming 9-12 months.
