Review (from Bart Servaes at vivino.com): "3/5. Light and fruity with aromas of green apple, grass and a little citrus. Fresh with some minerality. Table wine."
My Review: We had this wine at room temperature, and we had it by itself. When I smelled this wine, I got the ammonia smell that is typical for sauvignon blanc, but I mostly smelled citrus and apple. I also got the grassy, hay smell that was mentioned in several reviews. I tasted flavors of lemon, lime, and orange peel that made the wine a little bitter and tart. This wine was also more dry than it was sweet. I thought that the wine was very refreshing with a light and crisp body, and I also thought that it was on the more acidic end of the spectrum. Later on, we also used this wine in a recipe to make some soup, and it also worked very well in that and allowed the soup to turn out very nicely. Overall, this was a surprisingly good all-around sauvignon blanc, especially considering it was one of the cheapest wines we have ever bought.
