About the Wine: Sauvignon Blanc has its origins in France and is also grown in Spain, California, Australia, Chile, and New Zealand. Yarden is an Israeli winery that has decided to give it a whirl. Most of Israel is too hot for wine grapes to grow but some of the mountain regions are suitable for it.
About THIS Wine: In the glass it is very light, almost clear. The nose is very floral with hints of nectar. The palate is acidic with lots of citrus and lemon that lingers in the finish. In many ways it strikes me as a more potent Pinot Grigio. I suspect this is a result of the Mediterranean Terroir.
Drinking This Wine: Could work as a sipping wine and would go very well with herb chicken.
Overall Impression: This is a pleasant and accessible Sauvignon Blanc at a very reasonable price. This one is a good value.
