Winery Review

Like any good Sauvignon Blanc, this opens with oceanic aromas of citrus fruits, sea foam and minerality. In the mouth, it is juicy and stony, with washing acidity. Flavors of honeydew, lime and a nice grassiness finish firm, with good backbone. Drink this with salads, shellfish and ceviche.

My Review

The first smell of this Sauvignon Blanc revealed a strong lemon scent. It seems to be backed by an earthy scent that came in slowly as the lemon faded. The taste of the wine was overwhelmingly bitter and was very hot. It was quite strong and did not have a very complex finish.

I did not eat food with this wine.
