Tasting- "Maipe Sauvignon Blanc 2011"

Maipe Sauvignon Blanc 2011

  • Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
  • Region: Cuyo
  • Country: Argentina
  • Year: 2011
  • Price: $7.95
  • Shop 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 review:
    • This wine tasted very dry to me. It tasted a little flowery, but to be honest it tasted just like other white wines I have had; I couldn't pick out many distinguishing features. There were definitely hints of fruit in addition to the floral taste, but otherwise it just tasted like a dry white wine.
