Ziata Sauvignon Blanc

The 2012 Ziata Sauvignon Blanc just jumps out of the glass, first with aromas of juicy white grapefruit and green apple. Just below these dominant characters are hints of ripe mango, lime zest and honeysuckle. Then more subtly, sweet grass, nutmeg and white flowers fill out the dynamic nose. It is classic and polished with a gentle viscosity that gives it depth and intensity. It is a totally dry wine, but with its generous fruit and mouth feel, it gives a slight perception of sweetness. The finish is bright, clean, long and lovely. Sauvignon Blanc pairs well with cheese, green vegetables, oysters, and fish.
