Babich New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc



Name: Babich New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Marlborough
Country: New Zealand
Year: 2012
Price: $14.95

Professional Review: A juicy white, with bright acidity and lean lemon, lime and green apple flavors. A note of fresh thyme graces the finish. Drink Now.

My review: This wine was cool to the taste and smell.  The first thing I tasted was a cool green apple flavor. You can smell the acidity as an undertone throughout the sniffing and drinking process. I found the texture to be dry and slightly viscous. I didn't really notice the smell or taste of fresh thyme as mentioned above. This wine was served at room temperature. It should be served at slightly cooler temperature to fully appreciate this wine's crispness.  I had this wine at a tasting without a meal.
