Vine Republic review: "An expressive Sauvignon Blanc that shines with aromas of lemon zest and a hint of tropical fruit. Lively flavors of fresh citrus lead to a rich texture that is completed by enticing minerality and a clean, refreshing finish. Goes well with fresh vegetables, white protein, seasoned sauces."
Wine Folly: Page 165- Definitely got notes of grapefruit and white peach. The more tart than sweet side of both of these, although the wine did have a good sweetness. "Herb-flavored sauces" is mentioned which makes me proud I paired this with rosemary chicken!! The notes of apricot and grapefruit make sense for a north-coast California wine as stated on page 292 and it is a less planted grape but still said to make high quality wines. I'm glad I got this one for such a good price!
My Review: Week 3 pt 2! I paired this Sauvignon Blanc with rosemary and lemon chicken with a side of scalloped potatoes, because in one of the Wine IQ videos I remembered it was said that herby chicken goes well with this type of wine. I also had it by itself as I cooked the meal. The fruity notes were much more pronounced when drinking it without the meal, as the strong flavor and aroma of rosemary took over the show once I was eating dinner. Overall a good wine with or without a food pairing!
