2008 Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon; Cape Mentelle: Margaret River
grass, herbs, gooseberry, lime, lemons, slate, marble, sleek and crisp. Minty. A nice length, and a nutty undertone that pokes through on the finish. Rich, powerful but never overbearing. Really rather pleasant. 57++/100
Jono Beagle's hundred point scoring system.
0-29/100 not worth bothering with
30-49/100 good wine but I wouldn't buy a case
50-59/100 very good showing grape and terroir character
60-69/100 excellent example of a wine from this country/region/grape
70-85/100 one of the very best wines that the region has to offer.
86-100/100 one of the very best wines you are ever likely to drink

You need to try the other wines Cape Mentelle make.
Excellent cab, shiraz (rhone style) and chardy.

Always been a fan of the Cab... Good value as well.
In fact I'm a big fan of WA Cabernet.
