Tasting: Decoy Sauvignon Blanc

Name: Decoy Sauvignon Blanc
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Sonoma County, California
Country: United States
Year: 2013

Shop review: "Vibrant and fruit-forward expression of Sauvignon Blanc with abundant aromas of pineapple, honeydew, lime leaves, and lemon zest.  The fruit continues on the palate which is full and round with ripe melon flavors and bright refreshing acidity.  It lingers in your mouth before ending with a hint of citrus zest." - Vintage Cellar, 2014
My review: Decoy Sauvignon poured a pale yellow in the glass.  Notes of pineapple, granny smith apples and butter came to the nose.  The palate was bubbly with notes of lemons and citrus on the palate and a smooth finish. I enjoyed this Sauvignon very much and found it to be a favorite in the tasting.
Food: I did not pair this wine with food.
