2015 Nobilo Icon Sauvignon Blanc
#nb-32-16

New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc has become the flagship wine of that country, with a distinctive signature for most of its representatives.  The Noblio Winery is one of the most prominent  wineries in New Zealand, and the Icon Sauvignon Blanc is their flagship wine, with a distinctive kiss of citrusy grapefruit in both the aroma and on the palate.

The Icon has a nose which leaps from the glass with a heady dose of citrus and flowers, which fills your senses with anticipation of the first sip.  The flavor is green apple, with grapefruit and lime, and a slight hint of peach.  The finish is crisp and clean, with a lingering trace of grapefruit.  The alcohol content is 13.5%, and Norm's score is 90.

This is a wonderful summer wine, which one of my friends described as "quite refreshing".  The Icon would be an excellent companion for Cobb Salad, or a picnic basket full of cold fried chicken and potato salad.

price : $17 - $21
score:  90
