Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: March 7, January 4, December 16 and November 20.

Tasting note:

Grassy goodness wrapped in citrus zest and refreshment! This is quintessentially Canadian Sauvignon Blanc, and a benchmark one at that. Lovely mouth-watering layers of flavour. Food matches: summer salads, chicken salad, lobster chowder, vegetarian dishes.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:

The 2009 Vintners Private Reserve Sauvignon Blanc is our first Sauvignon Blanc to be designated as a Vintners Private Reserve. A designation given to specially selected wines of remarkable vintages. Jamie had this to say about the 2009 Vintage: “The long, cool summer and fall of 2009 made for a gorgeous year to produce white wines. The grapes had thick skins, lots of flavour and aromas. Absolutley wonderful.” This wine is a blend of five vineyards. The Lepp, McNally and Wismer Vineyards are names already familiar to customers. Local vineyards new to Peninsula Ridge in the blend are the Koscis and Lowry vineyards. Long, slow fermentation in stainless steel tanks with weekly lees stirring. This wine was aged sur lies in French and American oak barrels for 4 months to magnify fruit and to lengthen the pallet.
