A solid representative Sauvignon Blanc. If you’ve never tried SauvBlanc before, this is perfect for first-timers. The wine is a light, bright gold color with citrus and mineral scents. There are also some grassy aromas lurking about. In the mouth, the Kenwood is quite crisp, with lime flavors and a hint of creaminess. It is a medium-bodied wine that is well balanced. This is an easy-drinking Sauvignon Blanc that represents very good value.
