Matua Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2007 Marlborough

13% ABV
cheap from MVL

mrm, a pretty one dimensional strong alcohol scent. otherwise its got the rustic grassy thing going on, with a good dose of pear.

ooh, better than i had imagined. very fruity! amazing fruity, got acidity up the spinal cord. lots of apple & pear. kind of disappointing finish, disappears quickly. but initial taste very nice. residual sweetness on the background. a kinda chewy acidic aftertaste? not so bad. but the midtongue just doesn't agree

sauvignon blancs like this make me reappraise their value in cooking

anyways. this would be excellent with dinner. not a spicy SEAish type thing, maybe just something light.

like. a vegetarian.
or something.

not bad, not great either
