Tasting 3/1: Pomelo Sauvignon Blanc

 


Name: Pomelo Sauvignon Blanc

Variety: Sauvignon Blanc

Country/Region of Origin: Napa, California, USA

Vintage Year: 2016

Price: $12

Review (from Jim Gordon at Wine Enthusiast Magazine): "85/100. A rounded mouthfeel and plenty of fruit flavors, like apple and honeydew, make this medium-bodied wine user-friendly. The acidity is soft, and the flavors drop off quickly on the finish."

My Review: Up until this point I haven't really liked any sauvignon blanc that I've tried because of the strong ammonia-type smell and taste that they all had. But this wine wasn't really like that. One of the smells I got was the faint ammonia smell that was still unpleasant, but it was accompanied by a nice citrus smell. When I tasted the wine I got more of the citrus flavor along with an apple flavor. I thought this wine was moderately acidic and it had a pretty light body that made it a refreshing drink. I also thought that it was neither sweet or dry. We did not have this wine with any food, and it was drank at room temperature. Overall, I thought this was a very good wine.
