| Likeness | Very good: chilled, it reads as Sauvignon Blanc rather than generic nonalcoholic white. | Sauvignon Blanc in the herbal grapefruit and the tart close. Grapefruit, lemon, and pineapple lead, then bright citrus and tropical fruit with fresh herbs. The herbs keep the grape in the glass. The fruit is vivid. The finish is the stricter part. | — |
