"Fragrant and intense nose of green pears, guava, sweet basil and sugar snaps. It,s creamy and fruity with a medium to full body. Lovely ripe tropical and green fruit. Drink now."

"Grapefruit, crushed tomato vine and yellow stone fruit aromas follow over to the smooth, savory palate along with pineapple and honeydew melon. It has a creamy texture lifted by tangy acidity. "

"Abbazia di Novacella (the Abbey of the town of Novacella) has been producing wine since the 12th century in the region of Alto Adige in northern Italy. The Augustinian monks who steward the abbey farm vines as well as other crops, since their vows allow them to work to make a living. But make no mistake, wine is the main focus here, with an oenology school on the property as well as their in-house oenologist who was named winemaker of the year in 2009 by the Gambero Rosso (an authority in wine in Italy). They make wonderful wines at a price that makes no sense, but is wholly welcome, based on quality. This Sauvignon shows this. The nose is inviting with waxy citrus and lemongrass, maybe some fresh sliced pear. The palate is perfectly balanced for the grape in this place on this planet. This is weeknight gold."
