Very pale yellow color. Bright nose of melon, apple, and lemon. Moderate acidity offsets hints of sweetness in one of the most balanced sauvignon blancs I've tasted -- look elsewhere to find a citrus jolt. Due to the relatively subdued varietal character, this wine drinks easily without food and pairs well with dishes like the sockeye salmon, squash, and fresh green beans we had last night. Excellent QPR.

(Chateau Ste. Michelle Sauvignon Blanc Columbia Valley) A moderately aromatic wine with appealing aromas of white grapefruit, mango and pineapple. The palate is has a fairly full feel with fresh fruit flavors. An enjoyable, easy drinking bottle at a can’t-be-beat price. 100% Sauvignon Blanc. 20% barrel fermentation for two months in neutral French oak. 12.5% alcohol. Recommended

Clear light body, aromas of minerals and cut grass, taste of lemon-lime tartness with a broad base.
