So, I picked this up based on the recommendation that it wasn't like a typical New Zealand Sauv Blanc and honestly, it is like a great Bordeaux Sauv Blanc.  This wine is demure, floral, petrol and very nice.  You get aspects of hibiscus in the smell and the taste is neither too strong nor too weak.  This wine is a genius.  The taste has a little bit of lemongrass, some Meyers lemons, and some regular grass.  This is utter perfection.

We believe in finding something that you like the taste of, outside of the basic brands that you have been force-fed over the years through a combination of ethnically targeted advertising, and what people in your family have historically been drinking.
