Backsberg Sauvignon Blanc
Winery: Backsberg Cellars Year: 2004 Type: White Country: South Africa (Paarl Valley) Grape Variety: Sauvignon Blanc Note: Alcohol: 13% Mevushal: Yes Date Reviewed: 7/26/06
Color: 2.5 (of 3) Note: A thin but sparkling light paper color. It's so clear you can easily read through it.
Aroma: 5.5 (of 7) Note: A strong citrus aroma with mild scents of butter and oak.
Taste: 8 (of 10) Note: It has tart and tangy citrus flavors with passionfruit, peaches, nectarines and limes. There's a light flavor of oak and a lighter flavor of butter in the background. It's a good light summer wine ideally suited to a hot, lazy summer afternoon. Maybe it needs the background noise of a baseball game on a radio while you're laying in a hammock....
Total: 16 (of 20)
Food: I enjoyed it with a grilled teriyaki salmon along with a crisp, fresh salad. It goes very well with the fish.
