Colio has a new winemaker, and his name might be familiar to those who have liked Peller wines over the past few years - Lawrence Buhler has taken over the reigns and has brought his Niagara experience with him; and from what I have heard Lawrence is fitting right in. Now comes his very first wine that he shepherded to bottle (with a little help from those that came before him). Lawrence thought the wine needed a little more mid-palate to round out the great aromatics and lovely acidity, so he put 10% of the wine into a new French oak barrel for four months. The result is an amazing Sauvignon Blanc that has everything you're looking for and more. The nose has grassy, lime zest and vanilla notes; while the palate is tropically fruited with grass and hay notes along with some well-integrated grapefruit including the zest, pith and pulp. And the weight Lawrence was looking for ... it's there too. This one's a real beauty, especially for the price. Price: $15.35 - Rating: **** 1/2
