Not a flashy, highly aromatic rendering of Sauvignon Blanc, this is instead somewhat restrained and grapefruity, with modest hints of struck flint and passion fruit to add interest. It's crisp and citrusy, with a long finish. A solid performance by any measure.

A plump, nicely concentrated Sauvignon Blanc, the 2009 Mount Beautiful doesn't have the most intense aromatics, but is holding on to its weighty melon and fig flavors and lingering citrus finish. Drink up.
