Green-straw. Pungent tangerine, anise and herbal aromas offer very good precision. Zesty lime and green apple flavors gain flesh with air, finishing on a riper peach note. Good persistence for the money here.

Citrus and passion fruit are the main aromas, and the palate is purely tropical and citric, with zesty flavors and a very good mouthfeel. This is not an expensive or serious wine; it’s meant to be chilled and killed, and along the way it offers true Sauvignon Blanc characteristics and pure, tasty flavors.——M.S.(7/1/2008)—— 87
