Winery Review: Orange blossom and citrus permeate the aromas. Alluring flavors of orange and grapefruit dominate the palate. Bright acidity balances the plush mouthfeel, resulting in a clean finish. 

My Review: After trying this and the Wilson Daniels Merlot recently, I'm pretty impressed with Wilson Daniels. The nose on this Sauvignon Blanc was very fresh, with leafy aromas and kind of a pear smell. The flavor had a lot of citrus throughout, but unlike the typical sharp sort of citrus flavor this was muted, like watering down a glass of orange juice until it doesn't make your mouth pucker. I liked the softer approach to citrus and the general tidiness of this wine and I'm totally ready to try any other Wilson Daniels wines I see, as they're 2 for 2 so far in my book.

I did not try this with food.
