Tasting- Smoking Loon Sauvignon Blanc



Name:  Smoking Loon  
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Californa 
Country: United States  
Year: 2009
Price: $7.95

Winery review: This bleached blonde beauty is reminiscent of fresh green apples, pineapple and has hints of hibiscus blossoms. The concentration of zesty lemon and gooseberry fills your mouth leaving notes of thyme and melon behind. The bright acid in this wine gives you a zing while the fruit keeps your mouth watering for more. This wine pairs beautifully with a grilled prawn salad with a grapefruit vinaigrette, veggie spring rolls or grilled tilapia with mango salsa.

My Review:   This wine had an immediate notice of a green color tint, kind of weird.  The smell was good however, like lemon sour candy.   The taste was much better than I thought.  It was a mix of sweet and orange taste, no dryness or spice.  This wine was very enjoyable and light for all the smells and flavors it bodied.

Food: I did not have this wine with food.
