Best Answer

A lot of that will depend upon the winery, where the grapes were grown, harvest timing, and processing methods.

Sauvignon Blanc is a dry white wine. Various internet sources describe the flavors as grassy, mineraly, or fruity. Flavors/aromas that can include lime, apples, melons, peaches, passionfruit or peppers.
