Santa Rita Medalla Real Sauvignon Blanc 2009‏

The color is bright golden wheat.  On the nose there are herbaceous (fresh green herbs) aromas along with hints of fragrant (not identifiable) tree blossoms.  On the palate the wine is dry with a medium body that has a creamy quality along with mouth-watering acidity.  The citrus flavors (tangerine and pink grapefruit) are of medium intensity.  The are no sharp edges to this wine.  The finish is clean and short with the citrus the predominant flavor with a slight hint of the tree blossom.  Serve chilled at 45F to 50F.

Food & Wine: Goat Cheese.  Almost all the dishes should include fresh herbs to complement the freshness of the Sauvignon Blanc.  Soups, Eggplant, Salads (Ceasar, Seafood or Pasta), Seafood, Fish, and White meat dishes (Chicken, Veal, or Pork).

Approximate Retail Price: US$17.00
