90 Rebecca Gibb MW - Vinous Media

The second vintage of this new label, co-founded by Clive Dougall, formerly of Seresin, this mellow Sauvignon builds on its promising initial effort. Sourced from organic vineyards, around one-third of the wine was fermented in used puncheons and this provides a sense of roundness and relaxation to what can sometimes be an uptight variety. You can expect a fine floral scent, reminiscent of violets and honeysuckle allied with apple skin. The finish is more refined compared with the debut release, offering precision and direction on the medium-length, chalky finish.
