Spanish Vines


Spanish Vines 
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: La Mancha, Central Spain, Spain
Country: Spain
Year: 2009
Price: $10


Winery review: "Recommended with caution. The sample this note is based on was weighty and smooth, with apple and floral notes and then an almosty 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. M.S.  (5/1/2011)  — 85"


The 2010 Spanish Vines Sauvignon Blanc blends aromas of kiwi, tangerine, and honeydew melon with mouthwatering acidity. An ideal combination of Old World structure and New World fruit. This is a medium bodied wine bears a remarkably focused finish. Drink now.


My review:  I found this Sauvignon Blanc to be light. The initial scent this wine gives off is a bit fruity, however the taste, personally, seemed very tasteless. It is a very smooth wine that obtains a slightly bitter aftertaste. I found the wine to also not have much of a mid-palate also. I did not try this wine with any sort of bread or cheese.
