Nose: lemon, apple, grass, pear, orange, grapefruit, gooseberry, mint, peach, too chilled to assess intensity of aromas
Palate: medium alcohol, dry, medium - body, medium intensity, high acid, additional flint note, medium finish
Misc: Seems like a good sauv b, although i’m not the biggest fan of sauvignon blanc. I purchased this as a part of a state-store clearance sale in Pennsylvania, and if you are a fan of the varietal, I would think this is a very good buy at the 50% discount, as it is still very much alive and showing well imo. I can understand this being assessed at 90pts by people who like the style. I may pick up more of these, I believe it would be a good cellar defender for both casual drinkers and wine enthusiasts.

Pale straw yellow color, with moderate viscosity, and some gas in this young wine. Dry, medium minus body, with strong acid that gave feeling of pop rocks. Drank without food. Aroma and flavor intensity moderate. Not super complex but straightforward and would buy again at this price ($15).
N: melon, grapefruit, lemon P: green melon, grapefruit, grass, guava

Local Wine Shop Tasting (My average score for April went way down) (Bloomington, MN): For Russian River expect more. Lighter with apple, floral and mild spice. Short finish. Acidity lacking here.
