Tasting Notes: This loveable white starts out with enticing aromas of fresh herbs, subtle red grapefruit, and a hint of blossom
honey. Once you swirl it around your mouth, you'll get a blast of lemon zest acidity along with lemongrass
and a slightly creamy texture. This wine delivers a lot of body without losing its lively acidity, and the crisp
finish doesn't keep this wine from lingering on your palate. Great all by itself, but this one will match up nicely with
grilled tuna and swordfish, seared scallops, mussels, sautéed white-flesh fish like sole, or even lighter
chicken dishes.

Mapema 2013 Sauvignon Blanc, Mendoza
Rating: 89
Pale yellow. Dusty lemon zest, grapefruit, fresh herbs and hints of honey and spices on the lively nose. Juicy and refreshing, offering good dusty grip and volume to the flavors of citrus fruits and underripe pineapple. Much more fruit intensity and ripeness here than in the 2012 version. Finishes with notes of grapefruit, raw pineapple and lemongrass and sneaky persistence. This was aged in 25% new oak (the rest in stainless steel) for three months but the wood element is quite subtle. An excellent value.
