Tasting- Smoking Loon




















Name:  Smoking Loon
Variety:  Sauvignon Blanc
Region:  California
Country:  USA
Year:  2009
Price:  $.7.95
VC 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. 
My notes:  The color is light yellow with a tint of green.  It smells like apples and cherry blossoms.  The wine brings some nice acid with those same tart apple notes coming through.  This Sauvignon Blanc has a nice finish that sort of melts in my mouth softly.  It is the perfect springtime wine.  
Food:  n/a
