Cape Mentelle Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2009 I used to drink a fair amount of Margaret River SSB and SBS and I’d still rather have it than NZ offerings. Lemon, grass, lemongrass, gooseberry. Tight and intense with grapefruit flavours, some grassiness and a whisper of vanilla cream. Superb balance. Nothing overdone. Clean acidity and freshness with exemplary minerally length. Still a pacesetter as well as being a trendsetter.

Rose petal, cinnamon, lemon, lees/cheese flavours and brisk acidity all play there part in this highly quaffable Margaret River blend. It will actually handle some age but I wouldn't really bother. 90 points Anthony D'Anna Notwithstanding majority ownership by Veuve Clicquot, David Hohnen remains very much in command of one of Australia's foremost medium-sized wineries. Exceptional marketing skills and wine of the highest quality, with the back-up of New Zealand's Cloudy Bay, are a potent combination. - James Halliday
