The primary fruit flavors of Sauvignon Blanc are lime, white peach, green apple, grapefruit, and gooseberry.  What makes Sauvignon Blanc unique from other white wines are its other herbaceous and mineral flavors like white chalk, green bell pepper, jalapeño, and grass that come from a chemical compound called pyrazine.
