TN: Clos Roche Blanche 2004 Sauvignon
Opened the other night with leftover turkey.
color: pale yellow
nose: explosively fruity, floral, and a little grassy
palate: tropical fruits, grapefruit, crisp, a little minerality
This sauvignon blanc from the Touraine could have passed in a blind
tasting for a Palliser Estate SB from NZ. It was exuberantly fruity yet
balanced and harmonious, putting most Sancerres to shame. At $11-12,
it's a steal if you can find it.
