Howling Bluff Barrel Select Sauvignon Blanc 2015

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Barrel Select is a wine club exclusive that is aged four months in French oak puncheons. The nose is a mix of vanilla, ripe grapefruit and aromatic tropical fruits. The palate is soft and round with rich, off-dry almost pink grapefruit and ripe fig flavours. A bit too sweet for us but if served with the right dish, preferably one with some heat, it should work.Tasted: 22 August 2016Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
