consistency is apparently not fransola's calling card. one year it's pungent and green, and then in a warm year like 2006 it's fruity, ripe and sweet, with green apple, pear and tropical fruit flavors making their mark. seems like sauvignon blanc in catalonia needs ample heat to show the ginger, lime and apple characteristics that make it a likable. in this case, that's mostly what's on display.
