Tasting - Leese-Fitch Sauvignon Blanc

Name: Leese-Fitch Sauvignon Blanc
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: California
Country: U.S.A.
Year: 2010
Price: $13

Winery Review: 
N/A (tasted at Vintage Cellar)

Ned's Take:
This was a bit dry but had a buttery flavor to it to help balance it out. It was evident that there was some oak aging involved, but there were still good fruit flavors that came through. Unfortunately, the acidity did not seem very balanced and there was a chemical finish that was unpleasant. Any good characteristics that this wine had were ruined for me by the poor balance and flavor in the latter half of the palate. I don't think I will be recommending this wine to anyone in the near future.

Tasted without food
