Tasting - Yealands Estate Sauvignon Blanc

Name: Yealands Estate
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Seaview Vineyard
Country: New Zealand
Year: 2008
Price: Regular: $21, Sale: $7.95
Winery Review: Sufficient weight and texture, balanced by a flinty minerality. This wine is a fantastic match with foods such as cheese salad, poultry dishes and a wide range of seafood dishes including freshly shucked natural oysters, prawns, green lip mussels and creamy scallops.
Personal Review: This wine smelled like green and peppers and citrus fruits. The taste was consistent with its smell - very vegetabley with flavors of green pepper, red pepper, summer squash, citrus fruits, and zucchini coming through. It was crisp and refreshing and completely different than any other white wine I have ever had. I loved it and would definitely buy it. I did not have it with any food.
