Winery Review: "The citrus-driven nose of this Sauvignon Blanc has hints of jalapeno and lily of the valley. What follows is a crisp expression of white fruit and citrus, with nectarine, Asian pear, and herbaceous hints of tarragon. Infinitely sippable" (2018 Ultimate Wine Challenge - 89 points).
My Review: Delicious and refreshing! This wine had aromas of citrus and flavors of lemon, melon, and subtle herbs. Like the review says, it was crisp, but not overly acidic. Very well balanced. I tasted this wine with a lemon linguine dish and the flavors complemented each other very nicely. The lemon, red pepper flakes, and herbs in the sauce matched the lemon and herb flavors in the wine perfectly. I was worried that the lemon would be overkill, but the parmesan cheese on the linguine helped balance the acidity. Overall, a very tasty meal. I would definitely buy this wine again and maybe pair it with a seafood pasta or a lemon and herb chicken.
