Winery review: Beautifully balanced, our 2012 Sauvignon Blanc opens with lofty tropical fruit aromas, combining passion fruit, guava and pineapple. A small amount of Muscat leaves a lovely floral imprint on the nose. The palate is lush and round, escorting bright varietal flavors with a supple texture. Citrus picks up on the palate, punctuating the finish with vibrant lime zest and a mouthwatering acidity that begs another sip. “Varietally expressive, this wine has a refreshing zing that makes it perfect for pairing with food,” comments Winemaker David Nakaji. “Try a seafood cioppino, grilled swordfish or light, summer pasta.”

My review: This was probably my least favorite of the 5 wines that I tasted this week.  It  was a very bright wine in color and had a very strong aftertaste that I was not a fan of.  It was also a quite spicy when it first hit the tongue.

I tasted this on its own with no food
