Maipe Sauvignon Blanc


Maipe
Sauvignon Blanc
2011
$7.95
Region: Mendoza
Argentina

Winery 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.

Personal Review:  While this was a light bodied wine, there were more accents and flavors present. Spice was prevalent, along with a little melon and citrus.  The aroma also carried a spice accent which was appealing.
