Tasting - Smoking Loon Sauvignon Blanc


Name - Smoking Loon 
Variety - Sauvignon Blanc
Region - Napa, California
Country - United States of America
Year - 2009
Price - $7.95

Shop review - This bleached blonde beauty is reminiscent of fresh green apples,
pineapple and has hints of hibiscus blossoms. The concentration
of zesty lemon and gooseberry fills your mouth leaving notes of thyme and melon behind. The bright acid in this wine gives you a zing while the fruit keeps your mouth watering for more. This wine pairs beautifully with a grilled prawn salad with a grapefruit
vinaigrette, veggie spring rolls or grilled tilapia with mango salsa.

My Review - This yellow-white wine had a fruity scent. It smelled very crisp and tart with a definite sugar, almost of green apple. The taste of the wine was quite muted. The smell was much stronger than the taste. The Smoking Loon had a light taste with a nice finish, overall a decent white.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
