Tasting Notes: BC Sauvignon Blanc range from bland to bracing and from pungent to pretty - and everywhere in-between. Fairview's 2017 edition of the ancient grape falls somewhere in the 'in-between'/'just right' area; not too acidic, not too stinky... and far from bland.
A mellow and balanced, orchard'n'tropical fruit flavoured Sauv Blanc witha pleasant, crispy edge of lemon peel and grapefruit that offsets the touch of palate rounding, residual sugar. This is the handsome, 40-year-old-man-with-his-shit-together of BC Sauvignon Blanc - not as flashy as the 20 or 30 somethings and not as flabby as the 60+ set.... 'just right'. Drink now-2020.
