Tom Gore Sauvignon Blanc 2017

Description

This is made 98% from sauvignon blanc with a dollop of zesty french colombard. No oak here as it is 100% stainless steel fermented. It is all about citrus with grapefruit, lime and orange notes on the nose and palate, along with a hint of peach/apricot fruit and fresh mint and snow pea herbality. It is medium-full bodied and fleshy yet balanced by some CO2 and decent acidity. Some alcohol warmth on the finish. The length is very good. Chill well. Score - 89.

Tasting Notes

Sourced from a variety of Central and North Coast vineyards, including Bald Eagle and River Oaks, this is 100% fermented in stainless steel. Second-generation wine grower Tom Gore has worked every harvest since he was seven, gaining invaluable insight into California wine. This Sauvignon Blanc is crafted in a fresh, easy-drinking style that favours yellow fruit, citrus, tropical fruit and sweet spices, with a creamy, textured finish. A great match for grilled fish or herbed chicken. (Vintages panel, Jan. 2018)
