Lailey 2014 Sauvignon Blanc

So after tasting three bottles of this Sauvignon Blanc I am prepared to proclaim it the best Sauvignon Blanc I have tasted from Ontario grapes – winemaker Derek Barnett says “2014 was a beautiful year for Sauvignon Blanc” and so he set it in neutral barrels for 5 months.  Nose is complex and inviting: grapefruit cocktail, pineapple rind, a little tropicality with hints of grassiness in the background.  Palate follows closely to the nose but with such a beautiful mouth presence and an amazingly long finish of pink grapefruit – this is one we’ll be enjoying all summer long chez-moi, until the bottles and the winery runs out.  Price: $20.00 – Rating: **** ½
