Reviews
Jill A great Sauvignon Blanc. I sometimes find Sauvignon Blancs to taste too much like grapefruit and grass mixed together. However, this one has lots of fabulous peach, nectarine and pineapple flavor followed by savory herbs. It’s nice and tangy and would be great with chicken, fish or pork especially if served with a sweet topping or side like a mango salsa or a sweet chutney.
Ed If you like a white wine with a little tang, this is a great one. It has great citrus flavors without being to acidic. Drink with someone special or with friends. I definitely would recommend this one to those of you who are new to wines as well as those of you who have tried many. Try one now and save another for later.
