Trump Estate Monticello 2022 Sauvignon Blanc, $23.99-$29.99, 90 points, was a very light yellow-gold color and quite clear midway towards the rim.
Smells of grass and hay with just a hint of pine resin were okay.
This Estate Monticello Sauvignon Blanc was more a medium-bodied white wine (unusual for a SB) with a bit less acidity than most NZ or Cali SBs, but nothing terribly noticeable, its texture was much smoother too (reminded me of the better Vermentino wine from Italy), and the flavors were robust with yeast notes, fresh-cut hay, ginger, and caramel.
Finished long on the trailing palate, a hint of Necco wafer candy, and a well-balanced 13.3% alcohol.
Paired perfectly with my sardines in olive oil.
