Creekside Backyard Block Sauvignon Blanc 2013

Creekside has made a specialty of sauvignon blanc, and this 2013 from the vineyard behind the estate (the 'Backyard') delivers fine intensity and depth. It sits on the riper side of the spectrum, more guava and passion fruit than green herbs and asparagus, with lovely fleshy orchard fruit on the palate. Very good to excellent length - a fine buy in the price category all in all. Tasted August 2014. Score - 89. (John Szabo, M.S., winealign.com, Aug. 20, 2014)
