Is there a better American Sauvignon Blanc/ white Bordeaux blend out there? Same notes as roughly a year ago apply. Intense nose, bright acidic finish. What’s not to love.

I have always contributed Jonata’s Flor with being the white wine that really got me into white wine. I love a Bordeaux Blanc Style blend and this wine hits all of the marks for me. The smell of Peaches, lychee, honeysuckle hit the nose at 100mph. On the palate there are heavy notes of passion fruit purée, mangos, and citrus. This is a richer white wine than what I usually drink, but the medium level of acid really rounds it out. It also never hurts when the liquor store you buy from is trying to move inventory and sells you a case for $20 a bottle...
