Their is ample acidity in both wines in this flight. The WW adds a slight richness whereas the Sauvignon Republic pulls no punches with its intense honoring of Sauvignon’s grassy side.

This wine pulls no punches with its intense honoring of Sauvignon’s grassy side and the amplification of bell peppers. We recently tasted this bottling along with the Stellenbosch and the Russian River bottlings in the same flight. The Stellenbosch was also no slouch in its intensity though certainly less herbaceous. The Russian River was much more discreet and from the 2006 vintage. P&B in Marlborough 13% $11.99 at Bottle Barn Sauvignon Republic
