I mentioned in a recent post that I had to take a little break from the blog due to circumstances beyond my control.  Nonetheless, prior to the hiatus I had managed to squirrel away a number of tasting notes from wines I’d enjoyed in previous months.  Not wanting to waste the work and hoping to perhaps relive some enjoyable moments, I have decided to go ahead and post them.  They may be a little past their “post by” date, but I hope they will still prove to be of interest.  This Oyster Bay is one example.

Winemaker:  Oyster Bay
Varietal:  Sauvignon Blanc
Vintage:  2014
Appellation:  Marlborough, NZ
Price:  $15.99

Notes:  The bouquet of this New Zealand white was very pungent with scents of citrus and guava.  Acidity was pretty high, and it was light-bodied.  At 13% alcohol, the wine packed plenty of flavor consisting primarily of citrus, guava and grass.  This is another fun and unctuous Kiwi wine.
