Dear Reader,<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll always give you a clear, easy to read review of wines. One of the ways I do this is including info from the internet; then following it with my descriptions\u2026<\/p>\n

Winemaker’s Notes:<\/h2>\n

Sourced from the South Island of New Zealand, this Sauvignon Blanc<\/strong> exhibits complexity and a vibrant zing. Flavors of Meyer lemons and Key limes integrate with hints of grapefruit, gooseberry and citrus, culminating in a long, creamy finish.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sauvignon Blanc<\/strong> (so-veen-YAWN blahnk) One of the most distinctive grapes, Sauvignon Blanc is a highly aromatic variety that does well in both the old and new world. From the Loire Valley of France<\/strong> to Marlborough in New Zealand<\/strong>, Sauvignon Blanc has found many regions that bring out its unique and delicious flavors.<\/p>\n

HH NOTES:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boy is this wine worth it! I had looked at Cupcake a few times and really wasn\u2019t sure if I wanted to try it\u2026I\u2019m not sure why\u2026maybe the sweet name threw me off, it suddenly becoming ubiquitous, I\u2019m not sure\u2026but it was on sale one day and I said okay, it\u2019s time– Marlborough<\/u><\/a> in New Zealand has such a good rep\u2026let\u2019s see\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My oh my\u2026. starting as always with the bouquet\u2014it is rich and vibrant! It is what you want the bouquet of a Sauvignon Blanc to be\u2026.the bouquet is so fresh you want to dive right in\u2026you do and you get a vibrant fresh mouthful\u2026.with a clean finish and excellent taste\u2026serve very chilled, the taste on the tongue is smooth<\/em><\/strong>\u2026.the flavor is rich\u2026.and although I balked when I read their description of\u2026 \u201c\u2026culminating in a long, creamy finish\u201d (to me creamy finishes are for chardonnays!) But in a Sauvignon Blanc, I want a cleaner, crisper finish\u2014 (but I was wrong!) Yea! This smooth Blanc does have a creamy finish and it\u2019s done with panache. It has full mouth feel but with distinct smoothness and richness. This is a good wine. Decent price point; nice wine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
