Tasting Notes - Sabotage Sauvignon Blanc 2006 (Recommended)

These guys are building a good track record for worked savvy on the Peninsula and I think the 2006 is another good example. Very euro nose with slightly stinky fruits and old daggy wood, and perhaps just the faintest hint of tropical fruits (pineapple). Palate shows heaps of seriousness with dry fruits, minerals, good acidity, more old oaky notes. I may well have picked this as a Sancerre or perhaps a low level petit Chablis. Full marks to local winemakers for trying a style that will have its challenges from a pure retail aspect. Top stuff.
