Babich Black Label Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Pungent, bright, ripe and fresh fruited with aromas of lemon and peach, tropical fruits and fresh basil. There’s a distinctive mineral quality with wet stones and salty air adding complexity. Crisp and fresh on the palate, a salivating acid line and vibrant fruit flavours of gooseberry and lemon, some tropical fruit moments and fruit spice qualities. Balanced and well made, ready to drink from 2023 through 2027. Excellent. Score – 94. (Cameron Douglas, MS, camdouglasms.com, Dec. 11, 2022)
