Semillon 2001

L`Ecole No 41, Columbia Valley, Washington State, USA, Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon

Carolyn Evans-Hammond says Asparagus and minerals on the nose leads to bright flavours of lime and spice, asparagus and wet stones. Interesting. Balanced. Excellent food wine with a slightly oily quality characteristic of Semillon.

Carolyn Evans-Hammond's Score 81
    Ruster Ausbruch 2001

Weingut Schrock, Neusiedlersee, Austria, Sauvignon Blanc, Furmint

Carolyn Evans-Hammond says Bright apple and citrus aromas. Green apple, orange, lemon, and grass on the palate with a hint of asparagus on the finish. Some length. Good balance. Sweet with adequate tartness and complexity.

Turning Leaf 2003

Ernest & Julio Gallo, California, USA, Sauvignon Blanc

Carolyn Evans-Hammond says Bright straw with green tinges, this wine is a clean, well-made example of a commercial style of sauvignon blanc. The aromatic nose of almonds and lime leads to a crisp immediate attack of asparagus, white flowers, lemon and lime zest on the palate. Quite tart (high acidity)--offering a refreshing nip to pair with, say, deep fried coconut shrimp. Fairly elegant and restrained for a New World sauvignon blanc but still showing the ripe fruit typicity of California. (sells at the LCBO for about $12)

    White Cliff Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2003

Sacred Hill, Marlborough, New Zealand, Sauvignon Blanc

Carolyn Evans-Hammond says Bright, full gooseberry, lemon and lime flavours with herbal notes. Rich and full-bodied yet balanced and crisp. Medium length.

Sauvignon Blanc 2003

Lalla Gully, Tasmania, Australia, Sauvignon Blanc

Carolyn Evans-Hammond says Classic and pronounced aromas of cats pee and gooseberries follow through to unmistakable asparagus and lemon flavours. Crisp and refreshing summertime drink.

    Sauvignon Blanc 2003

Cloudy Bay, Marlborough, New Zealand, Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon

Carolyn Evans-Hammond says Cloudy Bay produced the first Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand to wow the world and has now achieved cult status. The 2003 vintage now commands a price of $31.95 at the LCBO. Dry and aromatic, this racy wine tastes of fresh ripe gooseberries, lime juice, and hints of cut grass. It`s a very fruity style with tart acidity ready to be paired with a full range of grilled summer foods. Chill down and serve. LCBO price: $31.95

Sauvignon Blanc 2003

Casa Lapostolle, Rapel Valley, Central Region, Chile, Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon

Carolyn Evans-Hammond says Crabapple on the nose. Bright, refreshing Sauvignon Blanc character rounded out with a bit of Semillon for body. Similar to a white Graves from Bordeaux. Spicy leafy flavours.

Carolyn Evans-Hammond's Score 84
    Clifford Bay Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2003

Clifford Bay Estate, Marlborough, New Zealand, Sauvignon Blanc

Carolyn Evans-Hammond says Crisp and classic with flavours of gooseberry, lemon, lime, and green apple. Balanced and easily as good as the cult wine, Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc

Two Vines Sauvignon Blanc 2002

Columbia Crest, Columbia Valley, Washington State, USA, Sauvignon Blanc

Carolyn Evans-Hammond says Fairly pronounced nose of gooseberries followed by flavours of tart gooseberries, honey, flowers, and lime. Dry but not-bone dry giving it a rounded mouthfeel. Well balanced and crisp. Short length.

Carolyn Evans-Hammond's Score 79
    Sauvignon Blanc 2003

Cousino Macul,  Chile, Sauvignon Blanc

Carolyn Evans-Hammond says Fairly restrained nose of apple and citrus with the palate broadening to include gooseberries and lime, oranges and lemon. Good value, well-balanced, crisp, dry wine.


Carolyn Evans-Hammond's Score 73
