The 2009 Sauvignon?is another clean, steely white from Tramin. Scents of tomato leaf, mint and sage that are representative of Sauvignon, lead to clean white peaches, all wrapped around a mid-weight, energetic frame. This, too, offers wonderful balance. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2012.
This is a terrific set of entry-level wines from Tramin. The whites see only steel and do not undergo malolactic fermentation.
