Ken's Wine Rating: Very Good (89)

Review date: February 2, 2014

Wine Review: The straw colored Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand is consistently Very Good. It opens with a fragrant yellow grapefruit bouquet with hint of lime. On the palate, this wine is light bodied, slightly acidic, mouthwatering and lively. The flavor profile is a classic tart grapefruit with notes of minerality and lime. The finish is dry and its flavors linger for quite some time. I would serve this wine as an opener with appetizers. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Beautifully bright pale lemon color. With the crack of the cap, unleash the unexpected as an array of delicious aromas leap from the glass. Pink grapefruit, key lime, passion fruit, frangipani, and pineapple tempt your senses. An exuberant wine packed with flavor, balanced by mouth-watering acidity and a fresh, zesty, lingering finish. Perfect for all occasions, particularly delicious with fresh oysters, asparagus, lobster, or summer salads.
