Tasting- Smoking Loon Sauvignon Blanc


Name: Smoking Loon Sauvignon Blanc
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: California
Country: United States
Year: 2009
Price: $7.95
Vintage Cellar 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 like citrus and pears.  It was very crisp.  I tasted apples, pears and another fruit I could not identify.  I think this wine would pair well with mild cheese to slightly curb the acidity.  I liked this wine.  
Food: Not tasted with food
