Cape Mentelle, Margaret River (Western Australia) Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2021

 This wine’s aromas are led by vibrant lemon followed by lifted, mint aromas.  There is a hint of CO2 prickle when one first sips the wine.  Its flavors are composed of Meyer lemon, herbal, snap pea, and sapid green mint.  Medium-bodied with a bit more acidity than the norm for the breed, the alcohol is well balanced.  This offers a richer textural expression and better balance than the straight Sauvignon Blanc from the same producer.  The blend is 88% Sauvignon Blanc, 12% Semillon, and the stated alcohol is 13.5%.
