Saint Clair’s 2017 sauvignon blanc drinks with an elevated profile. Yes, it brings the iconic pineapple and mango note to the table, but there’s enough lime-peel-laden acidity to give the fruit and inherent sweetness a lift. Relatively restrained in alcohol, it’s an easy drinker without a ton of complexity, though some fresh and grassy herbal notes percolate the finish, playing nicely with the lime rind.
