Drylands Sauvignon Blanc
The 2007 Sauvignon Blanc BURSTS with peach, passion fruit, honeydew and green apple. In fact, there is too much citrus on the nose. The exotic fruits on the initial taste is overbearing. It is a fuller bodied sauvignon blanc with heavy acidity, but not a long finish. The wine was less expressive after being open for awhile (2nd glass). Wine Enthusiast gave this a 91 point rating. For my palate, I would have to say closer to 87-88. Worth the try at $15 but I would pick the Villa Maria, Seresin or Kim Crawford savignon blancs from the Marlborough region of New Zealand instead.
