Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: March 7, January 4, December 16 and November 20.

Tasting note:

Refreshing and herbal with lime notes. White grapefruit and passion fruit aromas on the mid-palate. Medium-bodied without any heavy oak. Food matches: cedar plank grilled salmon, goat cheese and beet salad, mussels steamed in white wine sauce.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Holly Bruns rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This is my idea of a yummy Sauvignon Blanc: light and crisp it goes down easy with lemon, grass, melon and just a hint of green pea on the nose. There's something a little sweet on the finish, like a jolt of pineapple under all that tart acidity. Great for sipping in the afternoon.
Our signature white grape variety continues to deliver a crisp, refreshing white wine with the 2010 vintage. The nose has vibrant aromatics of passion fruit, citrus, and tropical notes, as well as typical cool climate grassy undertones. The palate is crisp and focused with tangy acidity bolstering tropical fruit and citrus flavours.

Serve this wine between 55-60 degrees Farenheit or 12-16 degrees Celsius. Tip: If your bottle is at room temperature, put it in ice water for about 30 minutes or in the fridge for about three hours to chill it.
