Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc, 2010

During the summer I am in the mood for crisp, refreshing white wines.  You  may even go so far as to call it a craving.  One of my favorite varietals is Sauvignon Blanc.  With the delightfully sunny day yesterday I could't resist and opened a bottle of Oyster Bay.

Oyster Bay 2010 Sauvignon Blanc is from Marlborough, New Zealand.  It is nicely balanced and crisp with an inviting fruit aroma.  It did not have an aggressive grapefruit flavor but rather a pleasant lemon and lime with a hint of grassiness.  Very enjoyable.  Oyster Bay 2010 Sauvignon Blanc has become a favorite for me. 

Winemaker's Notes:  Pale straw green in colour with brilliant clarity, Oyster Bay Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is zesty and aromatic with lots of lively fruit characters.  Fragrant tropical and floral notes with vibrant fresh lime and citrus zest, a fine texture and an intense crisp finish.  A concentration of assertive passion fruit and tropical fruit flavours with an abundant bouquet, it is a wine that is always crisp, elegant and refreshing.
