Wine Critic Review (Provided by Vintage Cellar)Like any good Sauvignon Blanc, this opens with oceanic aromas of citrus fruits, sea foam and minerality. In the mouth, it is juicy and stony, with washing acidity. Flavors of honeydew, lime and a nice grassiness finish firm, with good backbone. Drink this with salads, shellfish and ceviche.
My Review: I think I'm starting to get the hang of this! It had a fresh smell, of citrus fruit (melon specifically) and alcohol. The tongue was overwhelmingly acidic and I couldn't taste any of the fruit. The finish contained a pleasant amount of heat. As I didn't favor the acidity and lack of taste, I wouldn't drink this wine again. 
With Food: No
