Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2011

Shop Review:
Yellow color with green hints. Expressive wine, fresh, very aromatic. This Sauvignon Blanc displays grapefruit flavors, with hints of melon and honey. It finishes with bracing acidity and fresh mouth feels that make it a terrific aperitif and an excellent accompaniment to virtually all seafood, especially shellfish.

My Review:
This was my first Sauvignon Blanc. Compared with the Vinho Verde, I found this to be much stronger and lasting longer on the tongue. It wasn’t a very remember-full flavor. Again, dry and bitter describe this wine, but I feel like it would be better tried side by side with other Sauvignon Blanc wines.
