Pulenta Estate “VI” Sauvignon Blanc 2008
Sauvignon Blanc
$18-$19 on Wine-searcher.

Oddly enough, a little bit bubbly when being poured out. Color is clear but with greenish tints—nothing special though.

It has a soft, floral aroma, with the smell of some ripe fruit, particularly cherries or peaches.

It has a sour cherry, berry, or sour melon taste. It’s both very light and a bit bitter. The freshness of the fruit is prominent.

Overall Score: 3.5/5.0. For value, this is more of a 4.0/5.0. Note also that I’m not a big fan of whites, so there’s a good chance I’m being a bit harsh. The white wines of Pulenta, especially this one, have an excellent reputation. There is no doubt that this is a great Sauvignon Blanc, with a great price.
