My Beach Party Animal Sauvignon

I tasted the 2007 Shinn Estate Vineyards Coalescence ** blind, and I thought it was Sancerre, but with more citrus.

"A stainless steel fermentation of sauvignon blanc, semillon, gewürztraminer, riesling, and chardonnay" (quote taken from the 2008 tasting note), this has a golden hay color, very light in the mouth with a touch of salinity and very tight citric acidity, then blossoming honeyed notes followed by lemon rind.

A resounding success for a Long Island wine. Drink the 2007 Coalescence ** at the beach or with some BBQ this summer.
