Where to begin with this one...? Oh, I know. Have you ever been to the dentist? You know when they clean your teeth and they splash them with the little water gun and then use the mini vac thing to suck all the water out of your mouth? Even sometimes have you close your lips around the mini vac to get every single last molecule of liquid? Perfect! Now you know how this wine makes your mouth feel.
I am a fan of dry wines. Really. Hate the sweet stuff. But, Lord have mercy I thought I might need a tongue transplant after drinking this stuff. I literally even stuck my tongue out at my guests and asked them if it looked "withered and all dried up and crooked." They said, "yes."
I decided to slap the bottle back in the fridge for the night and try again the next day. Perhaps I was dehydrated. Or senile. Or otherwise incapable of seeing the real beauty in this bottle.
Night 2. First sip. No dice. Or saliva.
I can't even comment on flavor because my tongue was unable to detect anything but its need for moisture.
I'll say this. I like this winery a lot. I would try another year, because I also like Sauv Blancs a lot. But, I will not try this exact one again. And neither should you. Unless you love that part at the dentist. Then, this one's for you!!
Bought on sale at $8.99.
