James Suckling Review Rated 90 Attractive lemon, green melon and ginseng aromas follow through to a medium body with crunchy fruit and a tangy finish. Drink now. Wine Tasting Notes A wine that encompasses freshness from start to finish, the Olema Sauvignon Blanc Val de Loire shows great aromatics of bright tropical fruit and green apple. On the palate, pineapple and citrus flavors carry through a mouth-tingling acidity laced with wintergreen and spearmint that carries through the long, zippy finish.
