This was a great Sauv Blanc for under $20. I recommend it to everyone, especially those red wine lovers who are looking to try out white wine.
It's tart like fresh green apples, medium body, slightly chalky, and finishes smooth.

Melon foreword - with lots of honeydew. Fresh green grass, green apple, lime zest & a mandarin orange finish. Nice zippy acid... I'm impressed with this bottle - might be the best banshee for the $.

Very young, but that doesn't detract in any way. Green tinged cantaloupe, honeydew, lime zest, and pleasing acid. Absolutely highlighted by its youthful exuberance. Drink this freely all summer!

Bright, tropical flavored on the palate with a citrus finish. Quite good!

Great stuff. Extremely aromatic, absolutely no evidence of oak, med + acidity, med + body. Great mouthfeel and a ton of tropical fruit. Really good structure.

Good weight. Bright acidity. Perfect for sipping next to the fireplace.
