AVA Grace Vineyards 2015 Sauvignon Blanc, $6.79-$10.99, 86 points, poured a light brass color grading clear at the glass shallows.
Aromas of hay with the slightest hint of tomato juice were just okay for me.
Light-bodied with good acidity and grassy flavors highlighted by hints of vanilla, kiwi, peach, and pear were graceful.
Finished long on a gingery note, the trailing palate, and a well-balanced 13.5% alcohol.
Paired fine with my Maritime baked-stuffed lobster.
AVA Grace was a bargain SB at under $7xx.

Tomato is never a good descriptor for wine.
ReplyDeleteVG: Yeah, but thankfully it did not translate onto the palate!
