| Verdict | Passion fruit and citrus carry from aroma to palate, with gentle acidity balancing the fruit sweetness; the tropical notes linger briefly, then fade. | Sightlines by Ara Sauvignon Blanc has grapefruit, lemon and pineapple, with fresh herbs and a crisp, tart grapefruit finish.

| Likeness | — | 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. |
