Wine Review: In the glass this Sauvignon Blanc is clear golden straw colored and has citrus aromas of grapefruit and lemon, along with dry hay, pineapple, and jasmine. On the palate it is fresh, medium-plus bodied, with refreshing plus acidity and a slightly round mouthfeel. I found flavors of pineapple, green apple, caramelized pear, and crushed gravel minerality. There was also some lemon curd and honeydew melon. It has a nice clean dry finish with citrus notes. I would pair this very good value Sauvignon Blanc with lemon-garlic shrimp. - Mark
Winemaker Notes: Appearance: Clear, bright, pale straw with silver highlights.
Aroma: Aromatic with ripe lemon, green apple, peach, pear, tropical fruit, with herbal notes.
Palate: Medium bodied and crisp, with lemon, green apple, peach, and tropical fruit on the entry with green herb notes and a pleasant mineral texture on the mid-palate. The finish is moderately long and refreshing with lingering citrus and herbal notes. The 2020 Sauvignon Blanc is a beautifully balanced and refreshing wine.
Food: Pair it with a summer salad of mixed greens, apples, and walnuts sprinkled with goat cheese.
Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Justin 2020 Sauvignon Blanc.
