I truly love this wine. I do. You can read my reviews here of the 2004, 2005, and 2006. I also selected the 2006 to put in the blogger pack I developed for Domaine 547. I liked it so much that I devoted 1/4 of the case of wine I get from Mauritson each year to it. Love love love. The 2007 Mauritson Sauvignon Blanc retails for $17 from the winery, but I see it online for $15 and I think I paid about $13.60 for it with my club discount. It had a screw cap closure and clocked in at 13.5% alcohol by volume.
The nose here is all about grapefruit grapefruit grapefruit. Really, lots of grapefruit. Otherwise I found lime, stones, white pepper, and a great streak of minerality. In the mouth, more citrus, more grapefruit, lime, melon, grass, and fig. The wine shows crisp and clean, with racy tart citrus. For under $14, this is probably my favorite value domestic Sauvignon Blanc. It’s always on my must buy list every summer.
