Name: Maipe (Andean Culture) 2011
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Country: Argentina (Mendoza Region)
Price: $7.95
Vintage Cellar Review: Yellow color with green hints. Expressive wine, fresh, very aromatic. This Sauvignon Blanc displays grapefruit flavors, with hints of melon and honey. It finishes with bracing acidity and fresh mouth feels that make it a terrific aperitif and an excellent accompaniment to virtually all seafood, especially shellfish.
First off, the smell right off the bat was really strong. It didn't smell fruity, just had the aroma of what a strong-flavored white wine would smell like. That made me hesitant to try it, but it actually wasn't what I originally thought. It had that dry flavor I've had before, but it wasn't as tart to the point it makes my lips pucker and purse in the corners. It was good, but just not what I currently like when I want to drink wine.
