Tasting- Spanish Vines Sauvignon Blanc


Name:  Spanish Vines Sauvignon Blanc
Variety:  Sauvignon Blanc
Region:  La Mancha, Central Spain
Country:  Spain
Year:  2009
Price:  $10 (sale: $4.95)
Shop Review:  “Recommended with caution. The sample this note is based on was weighty and smooth, with apple and floral notes and then an almost buttery palate with baked apple and citrus flavors. Oddly, it’s a soft, ripe wine that’s fading and not showing much Sauvignon Blanc typicity.  85 points.” (Michael Schachner)
My Review:  This did not have a lot to offer in the bouquet department.  It smelled clean, almost like dilute Clorox in a freshwater stream.  The taste was bitter and slightly tart, but chemically.  It was fresh, but, due to the cleaning chemical aspect present in both taste and smell, I did not care for this wine. 

I tried this wine without food.
