Cape Crest Sauvignon Blanc, Hawke’s Bay — 2020 – Wine Advocate – 96 Points
96 points
“The 2020 Cape Crest Sauvignon Blanc is reductive and flinty on the nose, with curry leaf and mustard seed, dried tobacco and brine, layers of cinnamon cassia and bay leaf. I am learning that reduction is a polarizing character; however, I love it. I am one of the fans. On the palate, the reduction carries on; it courses through the palate and laces up the finish, with crushed nuts and flint, white pepper with graphite, new leather and lemon acid. This is mouthwatering, complex, layered and delicious. Huge fan.”
