Winery: Golan Heights Winery Year: 2003 Type: White Country: Israel (Upper Galilee) Grape Variety: Sauvignon Blanc Note: Alcohol: 13.5% Mevushal: No Date Reviewed: 8/17/06
Color: 2.5 (of 3) Note: A golden sunshine color with a healthy glow.
Aroma: 6 (of 7) Note: A strong sharp acidic scent of tropical fruit with tones of oak as well. It's aggressive without being musty.
Taste: 8.5 (of 10) Note: It has a crisp, tart flavor of citrus and tropical fruits along with fig, a little vanilla and a noticeable oak flavor at the end. There is a strong lemon/lime flavor from end to end that really invites the right dish. This wine is loud and vibrant, so be prepared....
Total: 17 (of 20)
Food: This Sauvignon Blanc matched perfectly with tonights meal. I tried a new recipe tonight. It's a grilled bluefish but it's prepared a little differently. You lay the bluefish skin down on a piece of aluminum foil and fold the edges up. Then squeeze the juice of half a lemon and half a lime over the fish, sprinkle with some fresh ground pepper and a little salt and put it on the grill. It cooks in the lemon/lime juice and you never flip it. Just serve it when it's cooked all the way through. The only thing I could have done better would be to pour a little of the wine on the fish before cooking it. It was a great summer meal!
