Echo Bay Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, 2019

This Sauvignon Blanc was part of the Trinchero virtual tasting dinner at Fieldstone Grill in Kalamazoo a week or so ago. Although the wine is made in New Zealand, it is imported and distributed in the United States by Trinchero as part of their portfolio. It is immediately attractive, with bright fruit flavors, and it showed some positive development over three nights.

Bright yellow. On the first night, aromas and flavors of passion fruit and citrus with fresh acidity. Deeper notes of gooseberry, fresh mown grass and green bell pepper develop over succeeding nights. Very attractive.
