Tasting - Smoking Loon Sauvignon Blanc

Name: Smoking Loon
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: California
Country: United States
Year: 2009
Price: $7.95


Critic 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."

My Review:  This 12% Sauvignon Blanc had a nice smell of sweet citrus.  The taste was nice and refreshing as well.  I could vividly taste green apples and a little bit of lemon.  This wine would taste nice with seafood or on a hot day.

I tasted this wine without food.
