Wine Critic Review: "The 2022 Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc is on target in its varietal category. TASTING NOTES: This wine shines with aromas and flavors of slight pungent notes, dried herbs, rustic earth, and grapefruit peel. Pair it with a dozen or two raw oysters" (Wilfred Wong)
Wine Folly: pg 165: A unique-tasting white wine with strong herbaceous flavors that are derived from compounds called methoxypyrazines. Sauvignon Blanc is a wonderful pairing partner with herb-driven sauces, salty cheeses, light meats, and last but not least, Asian food.
My Review: The wine smelled heavily floral, with green apple and blackberry the two fruit smells that I caught. It tasted like green apple heavily as well, with a lack of acidity that made it smooth to the tongue.
Would I Buy Again?: Yes. While it tasted like green apple, it wasn't super sweet or acidic, two qualities that were actually pretty nice about this wine.
