Tasting- Smoking Loon Sauvignon Blanc

Name: Smoking Loon Sauvignon Blanc
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Bordeaux
Country: California, USA
Year: 2009
Price: $7.95
Shop review:
This bleached blonde beauty is reminiscent of fresh
green apples, pineapple and has hints of hibiscus blossoms. The concentration
of zesty lemon and gooseberry fills your mouth leaving notes of
thyme and melon behind. The bright acid in this wine gives you a zing while the fruit keeps your mouth watering for more. This wine pairs beautifully with a grilled prawn salad with a grapefruit vinaigrette, veggie spring rolls or grilled tilapia with mango salsa.
My review: Intoxicating scent of apples and cider. Very fruity nose. Very warm taste and not dry at all. Good dinner wine.

Tasted with food or not: None.
