2016 St. Michael-Eppan Sauvignon Blanc Sanct Valentin

This wine brought back fond memories of lunches on Lake Garda in Sirmione.

100% Sauvignon Blanc. Takes a while to open up. Palate of kiwi and sage. Faint floral and grassy notes on the nose. 

Perhaps in an awkward phase ..... an unsettling amount of heat intrudes on the finish, which limits food friendliness and overall enjoyment of the wine. It doesn't appear to carry the 14.5% stated abv very well at this juncture.
