Vivino Tasting Notes: Middle of the road between light and bold, dry with little sweetness, and high acidity compared to softness. Reviewers pointed out an aroma of peaches and white floral flowers, tasting notes of passion fruit, pear, and lemongrass, with a dry and crisp mouthfeel. - Vivino Comments and Taste Characteristics
Wine Folly: pg 165 Sauvignon Blanc - The notes of pear I had tasted could have been confused with honeydew, passion fruit being a flavor I didn't quite pick out, but the white peach sung through loud and clear - as did it's high acidity.
pg 292 California Sauvignon Blanc - Description of orange blossoms and pink grapefruit - white floral aroma I had picked out, could have been confused for orange blossoms, as truth be told, I don't believe I know what orange blossoms smell like!
My review: A good, balanced, white wine leaning toward the drier side, with a pleasant amount of acidity, and flavors of summer fruits - mostly picking up pear, with peachy undertones, with a white floral nose. A wine that I imagine would pair well with a salty cheeses and crackers, or even a nice bowl of garlic, olive oil, and parm pasta!
No food was had, while tasting this wine - just a glass, and some good music.
