Wine critic:  Tropical fruit, white peach, and ripe pineapple perfume the nose. Juicy acidity, refreshing with crisp citrus and stone fruit flavors finishing with delicious length.

• Sauvignon Blanc (pg. 165):  gooseberry, honeydew, grapefruit, white peach, and passionfruit.  High in acidity, medium in alcohol, and low in body, sweetness, and tannins.

My review:  Peach, tropical flavor.  Light smell, and a light body when tasting.  Low acidity, and there is a distinct alcohol flavor in the aftertaste.  The Sauvignon has an almost creamy texture in the mouth, but the aftertaste has very little flavor due to the alcohol overwhelming anything I may detect after swallowing.  This wine has almost no green apple flavor, which is a far cry from the Torrent Bay.  The strongest flavors I am getting are mango and peachy flavors in the smell and taste, with lower acidity than I was expecting.  With the three other Sauvignon Blanc's I have tasted lots of apple and grape, but this one had much more floral and tropical notes.  This would go well with a balsamic vinaigrette salad or some other kind of sharp and acidic dish.
