WOW: Wine of the Week!

WOW: Wine of the Week


Mount Nelson Sauvignon Blanc 2009

Mount Nelson Sauvignon Blanc 2009
In the spirit of the beautiful weather that Uncorked has been experiencing here in Charlotte, NC, this week Uncorked is featuring the perfect warm-weather wine:  Mount Nelson Sauvignon Blanc 2009.

As an added detail of interest, this is one of the wines that attendees sampled while experiencing the Riedel Wine Glass Tasting on Friday with Maximilian Riedel.  Pictures of the event will be posted to Uncorked's Facebook Page shortly.  Now is just as good a time as ever to be our "friend!"

Product Description

"After producing a singular Sauvignon Blanc at Ornellaia for many years, Marchese Lodovico Antinori wanted to make a wine that captured the same crisp, natural exuberance of the grape, while displaying restraint, elegance and structure. He turned to New Zealand and the Wairau Valley of Marlborough and in 2003 purchased, with his brother Piero Antinori, a portion of the Meadowbank vineyard. In 2004 they produced the first vintage of Mount Nelson from this property." - Winery Notes

Mount Nelson Sauvignon Blanc 2009 Tasting Notes

Clear and bright with pale green and straw highlights. Fragrant and intense with passion fruit, grapefruit and lime on the nose. An excellent balance between crisp acidity and concentration with a long, clean finish.
Coming Next Week:  New Wine of the Month Program!
Tired of choosing wine yourself either from ShopUncorked.com or from your local wine shop (shame on you if you're doing that anyway!).  The NEW ShopUncorked.com Wine of the Month Program will allow you to choose the duration of your Membership (6 or 12 months), price tier ($30 or $60 per month) and even specify the composition of your monthly delivery (all white wine, all red wine or one red and one white wine).  What more could you possibly need?  Great wine, delivered right to your doorstep at the beginning of every month!  Now THAT takes the hassle out of wine buying!
