Appearance: Bright, bold, yellow, color. No legs when swirled in glass.
Aroma: Very strong lemon and grapefruit. Even when the bottle was opened, before pouring, it gives off a very fresh citrus smell.
Mouthfeel: Light and smooth, a little bit of tart astringency leaves the mouth dried out at the end.
Flavor: Very, very, grapefruit forward. Get a hint of tropical fruit in the middle of the palate, and the finish is back to graprefruit, and lingers for quite some time. I can't really pick up much past the almost astringent grapefruit flavor.
Overall: I'm not a grapefruit fan, so Sauvignon Blancs are kind of hit or miss with me. This wine has a pleasent aroma, beautiful color, and a very drinkable, refreshing body. If I didn't have such a strong dislike of grapefruit, this seems like it would be a great, refreshing, drinkable white on a hot summer day. Probably not one that I will personally go out of my way to drink again, though.
