Sauvignon Blanc tends to be citrusy, and sometimes you can get a hint of grapefruit. This wine actually tasted like grapefruit, and the flavor was so pronounced I changed my order to go with the wine. I had been originally planning on my favorite the lobster roe noodles, but instead went with the smoked trout with walnut pesto, rye crisps, and naval orange which was a perfect pairing.
We all thought this wine was interesting and unusual and were glad we tried it, but weren’t sure if we would order it again. It’s a perfect pairing with certain foods like the smoked trout, or I could see it with a ceviche with lots of citrus. However, it’s not the type of wine you’d order with dinner for a group hoping it will go with everything.
