Whither Hills Sauvignon Blanc, 2010 - Marlborough [Wairau Valley]
The aromatics of the wine throws a soft approachable feel / velvety passionfruit with a hint of the tropical notes to come. No obvious signs of acidity, attractive. The arrival on the palate shows some upfront acidity, this should tone down a little with a few more months bottle age. In the background is a thick, full flavoured savvy that is fustrated by the tight acidity, a little residual sweetness comes along to lend a helping hand to the fruit weight, thus allowing a welcoming serving of citrus and stone fruit. With an alcohol of 13% this wine appears to be in the lower flavour spectrum for its region.
Overall the wine is very pleasant, a fairly seemless experience that does make an effort to harness its regional identity. But the wine is not about keeping up with the jones's, a good summer wine . Drink + Enjoy!
1- 2 years
In terms of value I would say $14-20 retail, good value if you can find it under $15
