Curious to taste as I used to work at the winery that made this, though that was many years ago. Pale yellow-white, excellent clarity. Dry grass and a hint of stone fruit in nose. Light flavored, hay, herb, a touch of nectarine, lemon finish, light skin astringency. Decent acidity, but tending soft. Nice for a cheapie, but tempered my rating down somewhat to avoid charges of bias on my part. Paired it with Hatch Chile cornbread; the Chile dominated even though the wine paired well with the cornbread (without the chiles).

I continue to be pleasantly surprised by Trader Joes wines. This was a really drinkable sauv Blanc. Clean and refreshing green apple notes - slight honeysuckle aftertaste. A great inexpensive summer wine.

Color of gold. Nose of ripe tropical fruits, include banana, mango, and pineapple, tiny bit of salty, zesty, and spicy note, taste follows the nose with addition of nice acidity, good tangy flavors, nice sweetness mixes with salty note, and some more tropical fruits note. Aftertaste has more grapefruit plus skin, tinkling and refreshing.
