Not to be shared

My family recently hosted a graduation party for me, and one of my gifts was a bottle of Sauvignon blanc from my sister's mother-in-law. When i opened the gift, she said that it is the wine that she doesn't open to share, but rather keeps all to herself. She also gave me a set of wine accessories, including a vacuum pump, vacuum seals, and these neat wine pourers. 

See the little attachment that is in the top of the wine bottle? Using that I can pour a glass of wine (or, ahem, three) without spilling or having some dripping down the side of the bottle. It's genius. 

I really enjoyed the wine. The predominant flavor to me was citrus. I just do not have the wine vocabulary yet to come up with anything other than "citrus." I looked the wine up online and found descriptions using words like "lavender," "fruity," "thyme," "dry-yet-fruity," and a "terse, stone fruit and mineral finish." Yes, to all of that. I will be very happy when I can come up with such descriptions on my own, without looking anything up.
