TN: Brancott Reserve SB
Last night was a dinner of left-overs from a large gathering on the
weekend. Boneless turkey breast braised in homemade mole. A good mole is a wonderful experience and anyone who hasn't lived in the SW US and experienced an authentic one is living an unfulfilled life. Had tried a chilled Beaujolais Cru the first time around for the crowd. Georges Dubeouf 2005 Julienas was crisp with sour cherry and slightly tart strawberry notes. Pleasant enough, but for the rerun I thought a crisp white might stand up to the mole a little better. Brought out a Brancott Marlborough Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2006. Shelf talker notes had said citrus and flowers predominated. What I got was grapefruit and green apples with just a hint of boiled eggs on the nose. Crisp and refreshing, but not what I was looking for. I'm still not quite a fan of NZ SB, too much citrus usually and not enough flint.
