Cape Crest Sauvignon Blanc, Hawke’s Bay — 2021 – Wine Advocate – 94 Points
94 points
“The 2021 Cape Crest Sauvignon Blanc is aromatically a little sweaty, with white flowers and enoki mushroom, pear and even sweet pea. This is composed and impressive and yet still so young. Having had the benefit of tasting the lineup, I’d say that while I can both appreciate and even encourage drinking these wines in their youth, the complexity and layering that evolves over time is magnificent, and you are missing this element in youth. The trade off of fresh fruit in the short term is not enough to warrant the sacrifice of age-derived complexity.”
