Vivacious Vino - Review of Yealands Estate Seaview Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc

Name: Yealands Estate Seaview Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc
Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Region: ??
Country: New Zealand
Year: 2008
Price: $21 (On sale for $7.95)
Alcohol Content: ??

Wine Review:  This aromatic wine shows lifted flavors of blackcurrant with underlying notes of wet stone and thyme. The palate is elegant yet full with sufficient weight and texture, balanced by a flinty minerality. This wine is a fantastic match with foods such as cheese salad, poultry dishes and a wide range of seafood dishes including freshly shucked natural oysters, prawns, green lip mussels and creamy scallops.

My Review: Smell: lots of spices, lemon grass, melon, and a little asparagus in a good way! Taste: Melon, citrus, creamy, a little oaky. Yummy, but not my favorite. I think if it was colder I would have liked it more! Maybe a wine to come back to in a few weeks or months.
