Attractive hints of crushed stone, graphite and nettle leaves appear on the nose of Clos Henri's 2019 Sauvignon Blanc. Backed by layers of white grapefruit and riper notions of stone fruit, this medium-bodied wine is a fine effort. The silky, expansive mouthfeel leads into a long, gently textured finish that leaves tasters refreshed and yearning for another sip. After some irregular performances, this property seems to be finding its stride. Joe Czerwinski, Robert Parker Wine Advocate
A supple, full-bodied Sauvignon Blanc that fills the mouth with its floral scent. Sauvignon's angular frame is softened by an additional layer of savory complexity due to partial maturation in French oak barrels and aging on fine lees. The finish is a little tough, however; firm acidity combined with what seems to be a phenolic edge somewhat detracts from an otherwise gorgeous wine. Rebecca Gibb, Vinous
Tangy, flavoursome sauvignon blanc with gooseberry, green capsicum, lime, ginger, oyster-shell and guava flavours. A bright, lively and quite textural wine, with an impressively lingering finish. Bob Campbell MW
