Tasting - Smoking Loon Sauvignon Blanc


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

Wine 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 wine was a very light colored wine.  Could definitely taste apple and a bit of pineapple.  Could definitely see this food tasting good with a lighter food like a salad.  I would definitely be interested in having this wine again.
