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.
