Au Haro Sauvignon Blanc 2016

Aaron: White stone fruits make for a crisp and clean nose, while the flavor is light and a bit tangy. Lots of lemon zest and citrus flavors – not as sweet as the nose implied. Some olive branches in the background with mushrooms but really mostly lemon. 88 points

Teri: Abundant peach with a little apricot on the nose. Flavors of papaya and nectarine with just a little citrus on the finish. Good flavors overall, my only critique is that is tastes slightly watered down. Overall solid white wine. 89 points

Aaron: This was a little awkward to me; the nose was bland and light with some almond and generally nutty smells. The flavor was very bright and tart with lots of lemon and grapefruit. I think this would be fine if you want something to leave a tartness on your tongue but I probably wouldn’t like it normally. That said, we had it with some Thai food and it went pretty well so I give it 89 points

Teri: This white wine feels quite acidic but still has crisp light flavor and a medium finish. Sweet peach and cantaloupe on the smell blends to flavors of citrus (mostly grapefruit and lemon) and tropical fruits (pineapple and papaya). I’ve never had a wine from New York, but I feel this one is pretty good. 88 points
