Description
This popular blend-o-rama is built around Sauvignon Blanc with a backing chorus of several other white grape varieties and offers up a cornucopia of orchard and tropical fruits, floral and grassy notes and garden veggies. Lightly chill (the wine, that is - though come to think of it, you're quite likely to feel relaxed while sipping this little beauty) and pair with seafood, turkey breast or green salads.

Tasting Notes
Laura's White combines Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Riesling and Gew�rztraminer in a kitchen sink blend that sees a bit of oak. What's notable about the '12 is the omission of two highly aromatic components, the previously employed stalwarts Viognier and Chardonnay Musqu�. The adage is justified in that you take what the vintage gives you. If it gives you lemons, (shift tangents) you let the busy aromatics of more flavourful grapes (like Chardonnay) do the floral work. Laura's '12 will be a standout for the concept, a revivalist blend to help bring back some religion to the region's renditions. Coming to VINTAGES in June. Tasted February 2014. Score - 89.
