Wine Store Review: "Our 100% Sauvignon Blanc is fruity and crisp with bright notes of lemon, white peach, and tangerine. It has beautiful layers of tropical flavors with exotic floral aromas. You can pair our crisp Sauvignon Blanc with seafood, goat cheese, or watching the sun set."
Wine Folly: Sauvignon Blanc originates from France and tends to be a fruitier, high acidity wine. The dominant flavors that can be present in a sauvignon blanc are gooseberry, green melon, grapefruit, white peach, and passion fruit. A regional difference is that sauvignon blancs from CA tend to have heavy white peach flavors. (pages 64-66 on Kindle)
My Review: On the nose, this wine is extremely floral and fruity. I get notes of lemon, orange, and peach right away, and it is really pleasant. The taste however is not my favorite. This wine seems to be on the extremely acidic side, with an overwhelming citric taste. There is not much within it to round it out or give it any depth. I wonder if this wine has been in an oak barrel, because if it was, I certainly cannot detect any creamy, oaky, rich flavors. The citrus fruit flavor profile is just too overpowering for me.
