Kono Sauvignon Blanc 2018 Review
Cannabis mingles with gooseberries and pear, with some hints of aloe and basil not far behind. The palate is calm, with a little bit of weight and a little bit of sweet. And that’s totally fine, because this wine is really good for the price and the bottle looks cool too. At $13 it pairs well with beach bonfires, suburban cook outs, and rooftop blow outs.
