Found May 2013
Sadly I am going to give this wine a very poor write up and it's really not it's fault; I blame myself completely for this fiasco of a wine. When we bought this wine a few years back is was lovely and fresh with great citrus quality - unfortunately the review never made it to the website (
ontariowinereview.com). But I found this bottle while looking for something refreshing and fun to drink and with the date of 2009 I thought it just might have survived due to the high acidity that year brought to the wines - alas that was not to be. I am to blame as I socked this one away instead of putting it in the forefront of my wine cellar. But here is how it tastes now: The nose was hay with some freshly mowed lawn thrown in, there was also some grapefruit rind added to the mix. But it wasn't the nose that was the problem, it was the palate, which had lost all elements of Sauvignon Blanc, it tasted rancid and bitter with a real unpleasant after-taste. This wine was inadvertently lost and sometimes when that happens you can never get them back ... no matter how hard you look and pray that they'll come back. It's true in life as it is in wine. In the end the nose was passable but the palate was something you just couldn't get passed.
