I had the chance to buy some fresh King Salmon in Indianapolis this afternoon and picked up a nice pink piece of fish that I seasoned with salt, pepper, fresh lime, and dill! Such a piece of fish just screams for a Sauvignon Blanc. I had bought a New Zealand (Marlborough region) Sauv Blanc - 2008 Fire Road - earlier this week for $13.99 and was anxious to try it.
The wine had a fruity nose of grapefruit and citrus. It was that lovely light straw yellow color and it had strong fruit flavor on the front end. It didn't have a lot of "mineral" flavor but it had good acidity.
The wine felt good in my mouth with the fish and had a nice long finish. That was probably the wine's strongest attribute - the long finish for you to match with that fish.
King Salmon on the grill, some fresh grean beans grilled with garlic, candy onions, salt and pepper, and a great New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc makes for a great Sunday night!
