Astonishingly simplistic for a Margaret River white; sort of a taint on the brand. I mean even without a Google what comes to mind? Leeuwin, Cullen, Vasse Felix… Heavyweights all. Think of it; expectations run high. To open something so inconsequential and immediately forgettable is a bit like the difference between a spun sugar dome over sorbet at a Michelin starred restaurant and candy floss on the midway at a fair.
The citrus runs to grapefruit pith, the floral notes are thin, the refreshment factor blah. A shocking disappointment. BC Liquor discontinues Cape Mentelle but introduces this. Shurely shome mishtake?
Price: $25 plus taxes at BC Liquor.
Market Liquidity: Runt of the litter (from purebred stock).
