Is Sauvignon Blanc a good wine?
What reviewers say
“Ngl, the review was gonna be a 4.0 after 2 glasses but after the additional 1/3 I poured, it felt fair to up the rating. To smell it, you would expect it to taste of GRAPE, yet this wine surprises with a refreshingly sweet start and delightful dry finish.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
A perfumed white with lots of gooseberry, fresh fennel and passion-fruit flavors, as well as some sage and mint undertones. Light-bodied and tangy with crisp acidity and a refreshing finish. The philosophy of Oyster Bay is to produce fine, distinctively regional wines that are elegant and assertive with glorious fruit flavors. Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc is the wine that started it all. Which happened to win the best Sauvignon Blanc in the world. Its brilliant clarity, extraordinary aromatic flavors and refreshing zest are both thrilling and enthralling. Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc features enticing citrus notes and tropical flavors – youthful, elegant, and fresh with a lingering, zesty finish. Oyster Bay Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is ideal as an aperitif or perfectly matched with raw and grilled seafood such as salmon and tuna, calamari, crab cakes, Cajun and spicy dishes, and fresh Asian flavors.
