MOVIA SAUVIGNON - 2010

You've probably had Sauvignon Blanc from California or New Zealand, but what about Slovenia?  12.5% alcohol and 100% unique.

TASTING NOTES:

Dark amber-gold color with aromas of elderflower, citrus and herbs.  On the palate, there's lemon, an herbaciousness and honey on the finish.  More viscosity than your typical Sauvignon and drifts into an area of wet stones and minerality.

SCORE & RECOMMENDATION:

91 PTS
A really intriguing white wine that is not driven by fruit. It fits into more of a dry, floral, slate category.  Good acidity, a heavier bodied white with just a bit of oxidation. Retails for around $25.
