A decent and drinkable Sauvignon Blanc, this wine is a food-friendly, if underwhelming, value. It is sort of thin, with very muted citrus tones over a light, grassy body.

Acidic and tart. Good for value, but nothing special.

From TJ's. If looking for a cheap SB this isn't too bad. Very one-dimensional though.

Blind Tasted. Lots of grapefruit, and a grassy note. Lime on the palate, and the grass mellows and dries out. I wish there was more acidity...the end/finish really suffered for it.

Funky nose that took a little while to open up. Gooseberries for days on the palate. Slightly one dimensional.

Color of pale, warm straw. Smells like grapefruit and grass. Taste is thin. Flavors of stone, melon, and tropical fruit. Smooth finish.

The nose of this wine came off as citrusy and dry, and the taste that followed confirmed that scent. Upon first sip I got notes of lemon and green apple. It has a strong bite on the finish and pairs well with pasta & garlic white sauce.

On the nose, I get hits of citrus — like zest. (For some reason it reminds me of the lemon twist in a martini). Tbh I’ve had better and it tasted exactly how it smelled. The alcohol was kind of harsh. Would upgrade to a better.

I disliked it so much, wondering if I received a bad batch.
