Massimo Sauvignon Blanc 2011 (about $11)


About the Wine:  Sauvignon Blanc is a classic white used in French blends such as White Bordeaux but is also drunk by itself.  New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc has a grapefruit taste that has made it very popular, surpassing the French product in some markets.
About THIS Wine:  Massimo is very light in the glass and slightly luminous.  A nose of heavy grapefruit with hints of lemon delivers into a strong grapefruit palate with a mild lemon finish.  Neither the palate nor the finish really linger, but both are pleasant.
Drinking This Wine:  This is fine as a sipping wine.  It would also pair well with white fish or lemon chicken.
Overall Impression:  There is nothing spectacular about this wine.  It is a good Sauvignon Blanc and at eleven dollars it is good for the price.
