Another white from our visit to Highland Lake. Normally I'm biased toward CA Sauvignon Blancs but Scott at Overton & Vine told me I really should try it. Hmm, Scott ... Allan Scott ... something fishy there. Anyway, we enjoyed it and it's a great value under $10. (I went back and bought more.) In the absense of actual memories and impressions I offer you the winemaker's notes:The 2004 harvest was a ‘boomer’ for Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc in terms of quality and quantity. High sugar levels and a mixture of flavour profiles make the 2004 Allan Scott Sauvignon Blanc a very interesting wine.
Description
A very full bodied wine that contains an abundance of fruit flavours and a spanking acidity. Pineapple, passionfruit and melon like flavours are all present, in addition to a hint of Marlborough herbaceousness. A very lively and approachable wine.
