VC 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.

My notes:  This wine tasted drier than the Vinho Verde, but still went down pretty smoothly.  After I tasted it, my mouth felt a little puckered from the acidic finish.  I had never tried a Sauvignon Blanc before and I would definitely try one again based on this one.
