Vintage Cellar Review:"Fresh, lively and intense varietal fruit with delicious passionfruit flavors in the mouth. Old Coach Road Sauvignon Blanc Wine is nicely integrated and has a long lingering finish."
My Review:This wine was nearly clear, which was to be expected for a Sauvignon Blanc. It had grape, melon, and peach scents. The wine was very crisp, but smooth. It was a little more tangy than other Sauvignon Blancs that I have tasted. There was decent flavor to the mid-palate, and I could taste grapefruit, melon, and apple flavors. It wasn't necessarily very sweet, it just had a very strong tang to the taste. Overall, it was a pretty light wine. I thought it was decent, it took some getting used to because it was a little different for a white wine for me. Usually, I feel like rich fruitiness accompanies tang, but I didn't get very strong fruit flavors from this wine.
Pairings: I did not try this wine with food, but I imagine it would be good with seafood or maybe even a seafood pasta dish with either a cream sauce or a butter sauce.
