4/11 Tasting - Smoking Loon Sauvigon Blanc

Name: Smoking Loon Sauvigon Blanc
Variety: Sauvigon Blance
Region/Country: California
Year: 2009
Price: $7.95
 
Shop's 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:  This wine smelled fresh, light, and clean.  I smelled green apple and honeydew.  It was semi-tart with hints of flowers and light spices.  It was a nice and refreshing wine with a short finish.
 
I did not drink this wine with food.
