2007 Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc

This Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough is better when well chilled. Pale straw yellow, with slight fruit, grassy, lots of citrus (grapefruit) and mineral tones. Lots of acidity and really refreshing. Less herbaceous then the previous ones, but ready to drink right after opening. Zesty, crispy aftertaste. When it warmed up, everything was too much - too much acidity, too much minerals, but fruit still not pronounced. Served with food and chilled it will be an excellent choice for the money!
