Natalie's Score: 91/100

From Cakebread Cellars, the 2016 Sauvignon Blanc has a smattering of Semillon added to it. This is a medium-body, zesty and dry white wine with grapefruit and stone fruit flavours finishing with a touch of smoke. Pair with grilled halibut steaks.

Sauvignon Blanc food pairings: smoked salmon, smoked whitefish, pan-fried pan fish.

Reviews and Ratings

From Cakebread Cellars, the 2016 Sauvignon Blanc has a smattering of Semillon added to it. On the nose look for citrus zest and white grapefruit aromas. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, dry with more grapefruit and stone fruit flavours finishing with a bit smoke and a zesty acidity on the palate. Pair with grilled Mahi Mahi or halibut steaks. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
