Though we should not be complaining about a bottle of decent wine for about 7 bucks from our friends at Trader Joes, this Sauvignon Blanc is a little thinner than we are expecting from the Kiwi's. There is still plenty of flavor. This one has a bit more spicy red pepper than usual, and the lime is really tart, precise and quick hitting. Doesn't quite have that zesty, lively mid palate either. Plenty of Kiwi style almost puckering acidity.

Opens w/ mild grapefruit bouquet. On palate, wine is light bodied, nicely acidic & juicy. Flavor profile is grapefruit & lime blend w/ mineral notes. Finish is dry & flavors drift away nicely
