Beckett's Flat Margaret River Sauvignon Blanc Semillon
Winery: Beckett's Flat Winery Year: 2006 Type: White Country: Australia Grape Variety: 60% Sauvignon Blanc, 40% Semillon Note: Alcohol: 12.5% Mevushal: Yes Date Reviewed: 2/6/07
Color: 2 (of 3) Note: One of the clearest wines I've ever seen, this is just a grade above water and wouldn't even be called paper color. It certainly doesn't make you think you're going to find much flavor here.
Aroma: 5.5 (of 7) Note: Here's the surprise! Delicious aroma's of peaches, pears, figs and a hint of lemon. The wine rebounds a bit from a bad start.
Taste: 8 (of 10) Note: Light and delicate with nice flavors of pears, peaches, figs and nuts with a slight lemony tang at the end. It has a light sweetness to it that's refreshing. I guess my biggest criticism is Beckett's Flat's decision to switch to screw-top caps in 2006 instead of corks. Bad decision, folks!
Total: 15.5 (of 20)
Food: I enjoyed this new entry from Beckett's Flat with broiled salmon and salad. This was another in a long line of wines that go well with salmon.
