Wine Tasting: Norton Sauvignon Blanc

Name: Bodega Norton Sauvignon Blanc
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2012
Price: $12

Shop review: Aromas of pithy citrus and pineapple are decent but unrefined, while flavors of tangerine and pineapple are tropical, zesty and what they are. This is nothing more than a fresh, simple, citrusy white to sip on the patio.


My review:  This was the first wine that I tasted of the day, and it was a good way to start. The wine smelled mostly of lemon, but had many different floral smells as well, although I could not begin to tell you what different flowers smell like.  The wine had very crisp sensation to it, but was also very smooth, having a similar sensation to the freshness you feel after just having brushed your teeth. The wine did not taste fruity or sweet, and tasted just as much like lemon as it smelled. This wine would be excellent with a white fish, and I would definitely have it again.
