Norman asked me to pick up a white for cooking, so I grabbed this one. 

Ridiculously hungry and waiting for supper to happen, I started drinking it.  I enjoyed it.  (“Hunger is the best sauce,” says Norman’s mother.)  The nose is aromatic and mostly citrus, honeydew melon, a bit of mineral, and a maybe a hint of cloves.  The same flavours follow through on the palate, plus something like plasticine.  It is medium bodied, dry, and slightly viscous, with good acidity.  I find that it ends on a sour note, but I often find that with white wine.  At $13.29, it’s good value.

I wonder how different the 2009 is from the 2008? Because I tried the 2008 and didn't really like it much. Of course, I tend to prefer reds anyway.
ReplyDeleteGood question. I quite enjoyed some sort of Cavit white last summer. It may have been the 2008, but it may also have been a Riesling. Also, I was on a sunny beachside deck, so my enjoyment may have been mostly situational.
