Tasting - Charles Shaw (Two Buck Chuck) Suavignon Blanc

Name: Charles Shaw Suavignon Blanc
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Country: California
Region: Ceres
Year: NV
Price: $3.49


Wine Review: Light, crisp, and with an ever so slight citrus flavor, this light white wine will pair with appetizers, seafood, pork, or chicken

My review: I really didn't enjoy this wine, but it was dirt cheap, like $3 so I'm not all that upset.  Initially I got hints of pear, some wood, and an herby nose.  I spent a while trying to figure out what the herbiness was.  Grass or dill maybe. Think of what's now legal in Colorado and you'll get where I'm going with this.  Once I got a sense of what that smell was it competently overpowered me.  On the front palette this Sauv Blanc was slightly sugary and crisp, not all that bad, but then it totally dried out my mouth leaving an unpalatable taste.  
 
I had this wine without food
