The Infamous Goose

I was in search of a white wine in Liquor Mart when I laid my eyes upon The Infamous Goose.  Who could honestly pass by something like that?

Description:
Sauvignon Blanc 2009 (New Zealand)

Price:
Looking back at the receipt the bottle cost $10.99, but I remember it priced on the shelf as $12.99.

Label:
"The Infamous Goose aka "The Moa" roamed the South Island of New Zealand well before us humans found this piece of paradise.  That Infamous Goose is now extinct... or is it?  Who or what is the Goose?  Rumors abound.  Legends are told.  One though is true... this wine.

Sauvignon Blanc: Grown and Made in Marlborough, New Zealand.  Tastes of fresh limey, juicy, grapefruity... well fruits.  Lovely and Dry.  Cool.  Drink."

Taste:
It's definitely light and fruity just like the label says.  I can pick out the lime in the taste and the grapefruit in more of the aftertaste, but I don't know if I would have known that without being told.  Then again, I'm not exactly practiced at distinguishing specific flavors.

Overall, I think it's a great white wine.  It's very light and not hard to drink warm or cool.

Pairings:
Oddly enough, McDonald's chicken nuggets with barbecue sauce!  I kid you not.

Rating: 5/5

Edit:
I sat down with the rest of the bottle the next day, and the taste had changed a bit for me.  This time around, the grapefruit was overwhelmingly the main flavor.
