Catalina Sounds 2012 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 13%

N: Jalapeno like fragrance with a blend of sweet herbs and citrus centred fruit suggestions; a touch of peach. Crunchy red bell pepper also raises a hand (or is that a stalk!).

4 Stars

P: A vibrant wine with a no holds barred fruit and 'Marlborough' expression - citrus, jalapeno and red bell pepper laced with fresh herbs (basil). Acidity reaches pretty high and perhaps a touch of residual sugar adds balance and weight. A light mineral and stony soil finish adds length and a lick of complexity.
