"aggressively grassy"
This wine is a little over my normal price range -- it's fourteen dollars! -- so my expectations are high. Nevertheless, Steelhead's sauvignon blanc disappoints: it is too sour, and too dry. At this point, I wish I could say something knowledgeable, like, "Like most sauvignon blancs, its dryness is counterbalanced by a grape-ish finish," but I know actually nothing about wine. What is sauvignon blanc, anyway?
Wikipedia tells me that it is a green grape from France. Good! Also, "the flavor can range from aggressively grassy to sweetly tropical."
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS WINE IS.
IT IS "AGGRESSIVELY GRASSY"!!!!!!!
It's getting me tipsy, though. I've almost finished the bottle! Time to finish Arrested Development!
love,

VERDICT: Enh, you could get a better wine for cheaper, probably. Definitely not worth the fourteen bucks.
ill be sure to stay away. thanks for the tip!!
