2009 Wise Wine Sea Urchin Sauvignon Blanc Semillon

Wise wines impressed me from my first step in the door and their range is fantastic. Exceptionally palatable range, not necessarily all trophy wines but definitely very easy drinking. This in particular is very pale straw in colour and shimmers beautifully in the glass, there is a light tinge of green that is barely noticeable. Quite fragrant with a tropical fruit salad and lime dominating. The palate is soft and full with multiple layers, not as acidic as you would expect but has great length. Again tropical fruit dominate the flavours with hints of pineapple and passionfruit lingering. Overall a well rounded wine that is very fresh and very easy drinking.

What more is there to say, tropical fruit, great mouth feel, not to acidic and way, way, way to easy drinking.

James Halliday 90 points "A very pretty wine, with a mix of passionfruit and citrus on the long palate leaving the mouth as fresh as a daisy.", Ray Jordan 91 points "The beautiful texture is the thing that lifts this wine above your standard SSB. It's a terrific mouth feel with flavours exploding with tropical melon fruit overlays with a light snow pea herbaceous dusting. Crisp fine acid supports a very long finish. Excellent wine." and for me just purely for not having the depth I'd hope for 8.5 out of 10 without question.

The all important value for money. $18 at cellar door and $14.99 when I saw it at a bottle shop, you can't really go wrong. www.crackawines.com.au has the 2010 for $13.50 a bottle I'm sure you'll find this somewhere and it's worth looking for in fact if you just want an easy drinking bottle.

Although I haven't really given it a great score I still rate this wine quite highly and think at the price point its awesome. For that easy drinking bottle with friends you really can't go wrong, it will really please most palates. Go grab one if you can find one. Good luck and happy drinking
