Tasting- Smoking Loon Sauvignon Blanc

Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Californina                               
Country: United States
Year: 2009

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.” (Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg VA)

My review: The color of this wine was very light, almost like water.  The smell had a fresh, crisp, acidic feel that filled my entire nose.   It smelled like an array of ripe citrus fruits.  The taste had woody, yeasty elements, with a finish that left me feeling refreshed.

I drank this without food.
