Smoking Loon Sauvignon Blanc

Smoking Loon

$7.95
California

Winery 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.

Personal Review:  Pear juice is present all over the aroma. High acidity, not extremely smooth for a light white. Very flavorful, with accents of pears, oak, butter, and more pears. Alcoholic pear juice in a bottle is an accurate description.
