In case your not aware, a Fume blanc is an oaked Sauv blanc, some Bordeaux Sauv blancs have oak as well. I’ve always been kind of opposed to the concept … I love a sharp edgy sauv blanc so the idea of taking that edge off with oak, kinda didn’t appeal to me … and then this wine came along. Pale in color with a nice minerally citrus nose. On the mid palate the wine displays some nice firm edgy citrus notes, even some grapefruit. On the medium length finish the wine displays some nice vibrant acidity. There’s some wood notes and nuttiness coming through but in all the affects of the oak are limited and this is quite a nice wine. I would give it an 88 or so … From the LCBO web site: Check stock
