Review

A good value for Sauvignon Blanc, it’s a very pleasant wine for it’s price range. The nose is inviting with aromas of peach nectar, grapefruit, melon, and a slight herby note. The palate is fairly crisp and clean with the peach, grapefruit, and melon returning. Enjoy a glass before dinner or paired with your favorite white fish.
