2022 Mythology Sauvignon Blanc-Semillon

An exciting start for the 2022 vintage for Mythology! A Sauvignon Blanc dominant blend (90%) with some Semillon to round it out and bring more body. Clean and crisp, it increases in intensity and definition progressively, like a crescendo. The nose is tropical, grassy and floral with lime, grapefruit, and jasmine. The texture is super soft and creamy – so much so that it makes me suspect some barrel use, although I don’t perceive vanilla notes. Pear and gooseberry to start on the palate, followed by citrus-cream in the mid-palate. The highlight of this wine? The finish. It lingers for a long time, with a blend of salty minerality and white pepper, and a sensation of tartness like after you taste lemon zest. (CWC, Sept 7, 2023).
