Bodega Norton Sauvignon Blanc 2009

Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Country of origin: Argentina
Wine appellation: Mendoza
Vintage: 2009
Alcohol content: 13.5%
Color: medium yellow
Bouquet: overripe fruit, mango, passion fruit, at the end you can feel the herbs, alcohol slightly standing out even though the wine is chilled at 6°C
Taste:  medium to full body, round, peach, gooseberry, medium finish with hint of grapefruit, less acidity I would expect
Recommended food pairing:  Elaborated dishes of fish
Overall score: 82
Price: CZK 149
Stopper: screw cap
Reasonable Sauvignon Blanc of heavier style, quite fruity with higher alcohol than what I would consider adequate. I got this for CZK 150.
