Hess Select Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Austere, almost bitter, and unremarkable, with a dull and uninspiring character that fails to leave a continuing impression.

A sweet and tropical wine with a golden hue, featuring a floral notes of mango, honey, and citrus notes, supported by the sweetness of pineapple and the mild tang of candied lemon zest. The flavor profile is outlined by a lack of mineral presence, resulting in an off-dry style with a medium level of liveliness and a medium to full body. The follow through is pleasant, but ultimately, the sweetness of the fruit profiles overshadows the wine's ability to equilibrium the acidity, leaving a sense of unbalanced sweetness.

Decent bargain and a charming white wine flavor that is neither overly bold nor overly subtle. It is a light and fruity wine that is well-suited for everyday consumption.
