Taste:
8.5 (of 10)
Note:
A medium dry white wine with a heavy, yet creamy, texture. It's aggressively tart with flavors of lemon, honey, flowers and a slight fig taste at the end. There's a slight smokey taste that comes out in the finish. It's a strong flavor and one that doesn't sit well by itself. You need to have this with the right meal to enjoy it.
Total:
16.5 (of 20)
Food:
I had it with a quiche and green beans in soy sauce with sesame seeds and this Sauvignon Blanc Fume was a nice pairing. This may also be the right wine to have with lox.
