Wine Tasting – Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2013

Name: Cloudy Bay Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2013
Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Marlborough, NZ
Country: New Zealand
Year: 2013
Price: $29.99

Winery Review: The palate is fresh and focused with ripe citrus, stone fruit, fennel and mineral notes lingering on the persistent finish. Our sauvignon blanc is a delicious partner to a tomato and goat curd salad drizzled with fresh basil oil.

My Review: This wine was bright, almost colorless. This wine gave off a VERY tropical aroma. The initial attack in a whiff was guava. The sweet smell was leveled with papaya and jackfruit with a banana quality. This wine also smelled a bit of cat urine. The taste of this wine was well translated and tasted like the tropical fruits it smelled like. This wine was crisp, refreshing and didn’t linger on the finish.

With food?: I tried this wine without food.
