Winery review: The 2013 Leese-Fitch Sauvignon Blanc is a very refreshing white wine, with a strong citrusy flavor that includes lemon peel, Asian pear and a grassy edge. The finish includes refreshing herbal notes and grapefruit followed by a vibrant aftertaste. This wine goes especially well with a fresh pear and arugulasalad topped with candied walnuts, gorgonzola andaged sherry.
My review: To me, this wine was "eh." It was fresh and bright, and I got hints of apricot, but on its own it was not my favorite. I did not try it with food; perhaps trying it with some gorgonzola as suggested by both the winery review and the Gourmet Pantry would have brought out some missing elements.
