LONG DESCRIPTION

This is the first white wine I’ve had in months. The only white I drink is sauvignon blanc and sometimes – rarely, but it happens – I get an intensely visceral craving for it. There is something very sexy about sauvignon blanc; sommeliers describe it as grassy, but I swear to god it’s sweat. Or brine. Something salty. And wet. Do you see what I mean!!! hot.

This wine delivers a little bit of that weird sweaty taste, but not enough for me. It’s unfortunately overpowered by a sourness that makes drinking this a little exhausting. I like having to force myself to return a bottle of sauvignon blanc to the fridge so I don’t finish the whole thing in one sitting. This Walnut Block is almost hard to drink, it’s so sour. But then again, I don’t really like whites. Too sweet and sour. But maybe that’s what people like about them? The acid reflux?

I think maybe there are sauvignon blancs for red wine drinkers and sauvignon blancs for white wine drinkers. If you fall into the second category, I definitely suggest you order this guy.
