2012 Evans & Tate Margaret River Sauvignon Blanc

evans and tate margaret rive savAlways interested to see the words ‘Margaret River’ in bigger typeface than the variety. It’s an admirable trait if the wine is indeed regional. And this is.

Gooseberry, guava and grass over herbs on the nose. There’s a small degree of leesy softness but lemony drive maintains definition and thrusts through the back-palate, providing length. I would guess there was Semillon in this if served blind. To nit-pick, it does have an auto-tune precision about it but I’m inclined to forgive that even if it can be considered a shortcoming. 90
