Professional Review: Filled with notes of honeyed grapefruit, honeydew melon, and figs, it is a light to medium-bodied, fresh, lively Sauvignon Blanc that has significantly more character than one would expect in a $13 wine.

My Review: Nothing really stood out for me on this wine. I couldn't really smell anything out of it and whatever little I got, it was over powered by the smell of the acid. I got the acidic/mineral taste and a little bit of that malic mouth pucker feel. It more full bodied than I expected (which I liked) but didn't have much of a finish. I had this wine at a tasting without a meal.
