Wine of the Week - Wither Hills 2008 Sauvignon Blanc

Wither Hills is the best Sauvignon Blanc I've ever had. That's coming from a girl who drinks a lot of sb. It's from a small winery in Marlborough, New Zealand, obs. If you like Sauvignon Blanc and you don't like this one, I will give you your money back (just kidding). Here's the tasting note from the winery:

The 2008 Wither Hills Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc shows benchmark characteristics; intense gooseberry, tomato leaf and capsicum characters underpinned by the classically pungent melon, guava and passionfruit aromatics. The palate is extraordinarily balanced with bright seamless acidity, concentration of brambly, mineral lemongrass flavours and a long supple finish. A wine of remarkable intensity.

I would suggest a food pairing but it's so good you almost don't need food! But if you do I'd suggest sushi, salmon, halibut, ahi tuna, roast chicken or a light summer salad or pasta.

It's available at most BCLDB stores for $19.99. Enjoy!
