Tasting - Maipe Sauvignon Blanc

Name: Maipe Sauvignon Blanc
Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2011
Price: $7.95
Tasting Date: January 24, 2013
Location: Vintage Cellar
Food Pairing: None

Winery 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 Thoughts: A little dry for my tastes. Fairly acidic in the mouth. Tastes of lemon, orange, maybe a little grapefruit. Not something i liked at first, would likely be better if I had it with dinner. Definitely a variety to look into more.
