Bellarine Estate “Nine Lives” Sauvignon Blanc 2007 Friday, Jan 4 2008
Tasting Notes and Australia and Bellarine and Variety and White and sauv blanc et al
Lincoln reviewed this last month and as I always like to say, ‘two reviews are better than none’.
Aromas of tinned grapefruit in light syrup, passionfruit skins, a touch of cream, dirt and grass and some spice. On the palate light bodied, soft and gentle with flavours of grapefruit pith, passionfruit, grass and a little flintiness. It has clean soft acidity and delicacy in its favour but also look somewhat dilute and wanders around on the palate looking a bit lost; a bit more focus and drive would see a higher rating. This is a more subtle Euro style Sauvignon that works well with food (and I just had a little glass with lunch to prove this theory).
