Tasting - Smoking Loon Sauvignon Blanc


Name: Smoking Loon Sauvignon Blanc
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: California
Country: U.S.
Year: 2009
Price: $7.95

Winemaker's notes: This bleached blonde beauty is reminiscent of fresh green apples, pineapple and has hints of hibiscus blossoms. The concentration of zesty lemon and gooseberry fills your mouth leaving notes of thyme and melon behind. The bright acid in this wine gives you a zing while the fruit keeps your mouth watering for more. This wine pairs beautifully with a grilled prawn salad with a grapefruit vinaigrette, veggie spring rolls or grilled tilapia with mango salsa.

My Review: This wine smelled like grape juice and cabbage. It tasted a bit bitter and bland. I didn't taste any of the ones mentioned in the description of the wine. I did not like this wine. 

I had this on its own without food.
