Shop Review: "89 points -Beverage Testing Institute: Silvery straw color. Lively aromas and flavors of pineapple, yellow apple, melon, and Meyer lemon with a silky, bright, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a tingling, complex, medium-long finish with notes of lemongrass, pear, and lemon with no tannins and no oak. Bright and crisp with layers of juicy pineapple, pear, lemongrass and ripe melon make this perfect for repeated sipping or enhancing fresh farm to table cookery." - Vintage Cellar

My Review: I can now take back my statement from last week when I said that I have never liked any Sauvignon Blanc wines that I have tasted! I was very excited to finally like this wine variety of Sauvignon Blanc. It honestly caught me by surprise because I was expecting to hate it, and I didn't! This wine was tart with hints of melon and other tropical fruits. I thought that this wine had a very smooth finish to it, which was very appealing. I would definitely buy this wine if I want this variety in the future!

Food: I drank this wine at the Vintage Cellar tasting, so I was unable to pair any foods to this wine.
