Beyond Sauvignon Blanc 2005

Funky label, looks like a sake bottle. Light style, had it with steamed fish with butter and was delicious. Crisp and clean.

If, like me, you're a fan of Sauvignon Blanc, you'll likely dig this wine. Made in the French White Bordeaux tradition, this wine features an additional mineral quality that helps it pair very easily with food. I'll be buying this one again.

Paired with Orange Roughy Piccata, and it was a hit. I'm not normally a white drinker, but I'm going to grab a couple bottles to keep it handy.

I completely agree: very nice and tasty. There's a pretty distinct grapefruit flavor up front and, as mentioned above, enough minerality (yes, it's my new word, go to hell) to be food friendly, and a nice bit of acidity on the finish. A total impulse buy, and what a nice treat. Very well done.
