April 6 Famille Delaille Unique Sauvignon 2013, Loire Valley France
Now I’m one of those rare beasts in this industry who actually likes Sauvignon Blanc so when I put one in the fridge I just don’t have it there for the masses but have it there because I would also like to drink it after a long day. I won’t deny you!!!
The Famille Delaille Unique Sauvignon 2013 from the Loire Valley is bright and herbal and spicy all in one sip. Lovely notes of passionfruit pith on the nose and primary palate open ever so slightly to the fruit weight of the passionfruit but never gets carried away like a lot of the generic stuff coming out of Marlborough. Along with the passionfruit there is loads of spice in the way of fennel and white pepper that just gives this wine that real ‘wantable’ factor.
Drink with pea and goats cheese pasta and $25 always
