Variety - 100 % Sauvignon Blanc
Region - Marlborough
Country - New Zealand

Winery Review - "Brisk ocean breezes drifting along the coast while waves crash ashore with you safe in your secret little beach hideaway waft through your mind as you take a sip of this classic New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, Sea Cave. Lychee, green grass and lemon zest encompass this beautiful wine that is delicious with oysters and grilled chicken salads."
My Review - This light, golden sauvignon blanc gives off soapy aromas with earthy notes of fresh dirt and hints of rubber. When I tried it, I was in for a surprise -- this wine tastes completely different than it smells. This light-bodied wine is herbal with grass notes and a puckeringly sour lemon taste. It's also very acidic and produces a lingering bitter finish.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
