Wente Vineyards Louis Mel Sauvignon Blanc 2017 Review

It’s $14, and that’s the deal here. The nose is fun with some pepper, maybe a hint of mint yogurt and it’s not too boozy, which is a nice plus. But on the palate things get a little muted, making this a decent, affordable wine that works as a last minute wine run to the party.
