Wine Skeptic

L’arpent des Vaudon

Oh boy, oh boy. I’ve been meaning to go on some rant about Sauvignon blanc. Normally its not my favorite. I find it has out of control acidity that is just unpleasant, secondly, it can have that rubbishy grapefruit thing that I feel like just buy grapefruit juice. However, it can have other neat qualities, namely the armpit / cat pee nose, which while somewhat gross, is normally a sign of some more complex flavors. This wine delivers that nose along with a rich, flinty mouthfeel, no wateriness at all. Add to that a tiny bit of Jalapeno, which is another nifty quality of this grape and its a complete winner.
