2008 Babich Sauvignon Blanc – $13

Sourced from two vineyards in Marlborough, New Zealand this is not the ultra fruit forward Sauvignon Blanc that N.Z. is known for. The nose is crisp and clean, very enticing, some pineapple, some grassy aromas and a bit of a mineral smell. This would make a great aroma candle.

The taste is mellow on the fruit, muted green apple, some tropical fruit with a tart acidity on the back of the palate. The Babich is a very food friendly wine, strong enough and well structured enough to stand up to food you may not always drink white wine with. This reminds me  of the Sauvignon Blanc‘s from the Loire Valley in France. A very likable wine at a very reasonable price.
