Interesting nose of canned fruit cocktail and grass; nice acidity, tangy citrus and pear flavors with a decent finish. Much better (in my estimation) after it had opened up and warmed up for a while.

This is the definition of a 'grassy' SB. Primary aromas display nice green fruit. Ripe granny smith apples and pears. Secondary notes show some interesting mineral aromas. Palate gives way to peach and more green and lean fruit as mentioned before. There is a slight after taste of soap but in a cleansing manner not at all detracting from the wine. Solid effort for about twelve bucks.

Nice and crisp, grassy but not over the top. Would rate higher but the finish is a touch bitter.

Nice light Sauv Blanc character. No finish at all though. Serv cold and its an ok quaffer.

Distinct and firm flavor. High acidity and texture. Tasty with fist and mildly-spicy chicken. Should be well-chilled.
