Tastings Notes - Minot Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2007 (Recommended)

I've never had a bad SSB from these guys over the past 3 years and the 2007 is bang on target. Very appealing nose of forward and ripe grassy fruits with a strong tropical underlay. Not unlike a ripe Kiwi in this respect although less overtly herbal. Seeming not a heap of semillon fruit on the bouquet. Palate continues in this vein; ripe, a touch tangy, a clear citrus streak keeps things tight, and rolls up nicely into a long finish. I can't believe we can 'import' the wine into Vic and still only charge $15.
