Tasting - "Smoking Loon Sauvignon Blanc"




Name: Smoking Loon Sauvignon Blanc
Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: 2009
Price: $7.95
Shop/wine critic/winery review: 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.
Your review: This wine was a straw yellow coloring with a strong berry smell. It had a light floral flavor with some berry hints. I gave this wine two stars. 
Did not have food with the wine.
