Dog Point Vineyards 2005 Sauvignon Blanc (New Zealand)

Producer: 
Dog Point Vineyards

Sauvignon Blanc is becoming for New Zealand today what Chardonnay was to California in the seventies, a trendy little grape variety. The wine’s nose contributes aromas of citrus and ever so subtle peach. The palette offers dry, yet mouthwatering, flavors of lemon zest and key lime. This wine is amazing with bruschetta. To use surfer vernacular, this wine is totally awesome!
