Creekside’s sauvignon has shone since its first batch in 1998. Has ripe star fruit and gooseberry, yet typical sauvignon nettle greenness and grapefruit. Mid-weight, fleshy and lively, even delicate, with fresh herbs on the palate. New Zealand sauvignon has nothing on this example. Available mid-July. www.creeksidewine.com.
