Charles Krug Peter Mondavi Family Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2017 Review
The wine is fine, with under ripe bell pepper and pear along with an odd undertone of cardamom. The palate is zippy, with aromas folding into a homogenized sweet peach vibe. It’s a good enough for parties when some of the peeps want to drink wine instead of beer.
