The 2006 Sauvignon is stunning in its counterpoint of rich, ripe fruit, varietal aromatics and depth of expressiveness. With air, mint, smoke and mineral overtones gradually emerge to round out this superb wine. Like a fine cashmere sweater, its elegance is all about understated finesse. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2010.
Pojer e Sandri, based in Trentino, has been one my favorite wineries since my student days in Boston, when I always found the wines to deliver superb quality, especially given my limited budget back then.
