Sauvignon Blanc Blind River ‘Three Brooms’
New Zealand, Marlborough
Sauvignon Blanc
Rich, intense layers of lemongrass, briny, wet stone minerality, spicy, creamy, and signature flintlock smokiness. Light passionfruit and super ripe limes. Elegant but powerful, fresh yet dense. Incredible, fresh, focused attack that is light, biscuity, and mouthwatering. As with the nose, the fruit comes later and is subtle citrus and passionfruit with a wonderful secondary edginess that is so gentle that it’s barely perceptible but adds, hugely, to the complexity here. If possible, the finish is even more complex with an amazing fruit richness and sweetness balanced, perfectly, by that juicy, mouthwatering acidity. Subtle and complex, and age will make it even better
