Brancott 2008 B Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)

Country: New Zealand / Marlborough
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Winery: Brancott / B

One of Brancott’s best Sauvignons in recent memory, the 2008 B is intensely herbal on the nose, featuring green tomatoes and bell pepper, but only mildly vegetal on the palate–well within the bounds of acceptable varietal character. It’s on the full-bodied side of the spectrum, with a long, mouth-tingling finish. Try with sole Basquaise.
