I taste metal, and I taste citrus, but it's not overwhelming, nor is it typical of the New World visions of Sauvignon Blanc. This wine has some nice green apple flavors (love that Granny Smith) and some nicely muted pear. It actually in some ways reminds me of a Pinot Gris (the pear aspects). Overall, it is very drinkable and would go great with chicken, seafood and/or a poached pear salad.
