2008 Momo Sauvignon Blanc
Grape variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: New Zealand
Food pairing: Pesto-marinated shrimp on the barbie
We tasted this new find in early March this year, prior to any press, and were pleasantly
surprised. Admirably round in style with ripe citrus fruits, bright acidity, and not overtly herbaceous, as we find some New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs to be...this was going to be a hit. So seeing the summer months on the horizon, we bought what we could on the spot and set some aside for the June Wine Club. As it often happens, we were not the only ones that were impressed by the Momo. It appeared in the April 30th issue of Wine Spectator and was rated 90 points. A popular national restaurant chain jumped on board, pouring it by the glass, and suddenly only a limited amount was available. We thanked our lucky stars that we had already set some aside for you just in time. The perfect quaff as the mercury rises, we think you'll enjoy the grapefruit, tangerine and green melon flavors and the kicky, juicy finish.http://www.garyswine.com/fine_wine/new_zealand/08842.html
