Community Tasting Note

Sunday, December 9, 2018 - Just can't say I agree with the reviews from Suckling, Wine Advocate, and Galloni. Maybe this one just isn't my style.

Right away, the aromas give away the partial oak treatment of this wine. Waxy and buttery scents with only the slightest hints of tropical fruits poking through. The palate follows, but with a little more intrigue. The use of oak provides roundness and some spiciness on the finish, but it doesn't overpower the flavors of sweet citrus, ripe pear, and honeydew melon. Good acidity.

I'm sure I am just not the biggest fan of the oak influences in this wine, as I prefer my sauvignon blancs on the fresher and zestier side. With that being said, I can still appreciate the complexity here. Certainly a bargain at $10 USD through Last Bottle.
