Whitecliff Sacred Hill

[Innkeeper]

2001 Whitecliff Vineyards, Sacred Hill, Sauvignon Blanc, Hawkes Bay ($11.99). Sensational. Faint hint of cat pee with stronger aromas of freshly mown hay and wild flowers on the nose and upfront tastes. The tastes of fully ripe fruit and crisp acidity flow torrentially across the palate, and the finish lingers and lingers. Not exactly your everyday SW! Matched splendidly with day fresh divers' scallops broiled in beer and butter. Am so hoppy that Hawkes Bay does not have the rep of Marlborough. Shush!!!!!!
