Little Straw Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc Review
The Little Straw Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc (Limited 2009 Vintage) label saids...
Nestled at the foot of an extinct volcano, our vineyard is home to some of the oldest vines plants in the Okanagan Valley. The colcanic soils and micro-climate allow for complete ripeness and expression of varietal character in the creation of this fine handcrafted wine.
The wine was delish! We paired the white wine with seafood (i.e. jumbo shrimp) and it was the perfect combination. The wine had sweet citrusy tang and classic grassy flavours. The only con about the wine is that I couldn't taste the "melon flavours". Nevertheless, the drink was very smooth (12% alc.) and memorable.
