“Pssst, Good Wine for $10
Oxford Landing takes a step up”
I just tasted through the latest lineup from a low-price stalwart. I sampled the wines blind, mixed with others of the same types in a series of tastings in the past two weeks.

Winemaker’s Notes
Pale straw with a light green hue, this fresh, lively Sauvignon Blanc shows classical varietal character with grassy, nettle-leaf, lemon and grapefruit aromas. The palate is delightfully crisp and refreshing with tropical fruit punch, passion fruit and gooseberry characters. Natural grape acid provides a zesty finish to this very approachable wine. An abundance of flavors, complemented with refreshing natural and mineral acidity.
South Australia, a state of Australia, located in the south-central part of the country.
