Wine-o: Cupcake Sauvignon Blanc

Cupcake 2011 Sauvignon Blanc
Central Coast California
Alcohol 13%
Price $12

My mother is quite the fan of Sauvignon Blanc.  Usually they aren't as dry as a Chardonnay, and they often have a trace of citrus or herbal zest to them.  She particularly likes those of the herb resonance, such as Nobilo and Kono.  

However, the Cupcake is a little more affordable, and very available at almost any wine shop.  This wine has a nice zing to it and is more on the herbal side than citrus.  Definitely serve this chilled.  It paired well with cheese hors d'oeuvres and a humid evening.  Not overly sweet and a bit on the drier side; the whole family enjoyed this!  (Although I would still buy the Cupcake 2010 Angel Food over this vintage...)

Freya's Score 79
Mona's Value 6.6
The MV is calculated by dividing the FS by the price, giving a better analytic that takes into consideration price as well as overall taste
