Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Country: Maule Valley, Chile
Year: 2011

Vintage Cellar Review: This Chilean Sauvignon Blanc just oozes with bright citrus flavors and a nose of herbs and grass. Stylistically, it is a cross between the herbal, grassy wines so prevalent in Sonoma County and the riper,
more fruit forward products of New Zealand. Match it with pasta sauced with arugula, pine nuts, mushrooms and parmesan.
My Review: This wine had a floral nose. There were hints of green apple in the taste, as well as herbal notes. The wine was also light and crisp. When swallowing the wine there was little burn. At this point in my wine tasting knowledge, the sauvignon blanc is one of my favorite wine varieties.
