Winery Review: This light, crisp Sauvignon Blanc has aromas of grapefruit, bell pepper, and asparagus. On the palate, hints of floral and honey are revealed to yield a well-balanced, refreshing wine.
My Review: A light-bodied semi-sweet white with hints of lemon in the aroma. Move it to the mouth and the herbs hit you immediately but it is no slap across the face. From what I could decipher, thyme was present and I wouldn't disagree with the bell pepper and asparagus from the review above. This wine really has some travel across your taste buds: soft and sweet on the tip moving to bigger sweetness and acid, then it calms down on the middle of the tongue and finishes with some heat in the back. Was quite a drastic difference from the Soave previously tasted but I could see it pairing well with a summery chicken dinner.
Tasted without food.
