This is an inexpensive Sauvignon Blanc that retails for $10. It is easy drinking and a nice value for that price. it should be popular with the wine drinker who is looking for value and pleasure. Pale Yellow/gold in color. Nice grapefruit on the nose and palate. Easy drinking. Its not about depth as much as refreshment. Slightly sweet on the finish.
This is a more "serious" take on Sauvignon Blanc which can sometimes be too much, but it works here. Yellow gold in color, slightly cloudy. On the nose there is some grapefruit, spice/oak, and a bit of honey. Medium to full bodied. Good acidity but still round at the edges. On the palate, grapefruit, peach, ginger and spice. A bit of lemons on the finish. This drinks well on its own but can hold up to quite a bit of foods. Grilled trout would be a nice match.
This is made utilizing organic grapes from a vineyard, Valle Hermoso, just 13km from the ocean. Yellow/silver/gold in color, clear and bright. There is a very expressive nose featuring lemon, lime, lemon verbena, and an almost minty quality. Medium bodied. Dry as a bone. On the palate lots of minerals and herbs with again, nice sort of pepperminty note. Moderate acidity. Nice mouthfeel. This is nice on its own but even better with food. A Quinoa and Roasted Pepper salad would be perfect. Screwcapped. This should drink nicely over the next three to four years.
This is from the coastal region of Chile. Pale silvery/gold in color with some green swirls. The nose has lime, salinity and smoke. A very lovely slightly oily texture. Medium bodied. On the palate, there is an interesting minerality with slight lime and slighter tropical fruits. Some complexity. Moderate acidity. Good finish. This is very nice on its own and very food friendly. Roasted turkey or chicken would be a nice match. Screw capped. While there is some fruit to this, the minerality is the thing that makes it very interesting. Excellent value.
Silvery in color with some very pale gold. Very tight at the beginning, it slowly opened after a few hours. Minerals and saline, and eventually some grapefruits. Medium to full bodied. Very interesting on the palate. Tight at first, slowly it shows some minerality and eventually some grapefruits and finally a bit of lime. Also a hint of maybe chalk. Very refreshing. This drinks great with or without food. It really would work well with oysters. Drink over the next five years.
What a fantastic value in Sauvignon Blanc. Made from grapes grown 15km from the Pacific. Silvery/green/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose has peaches, grapefruits and salinity. Medium bodied. Light tannins. On the palate, grapefruits with underlying minerality. Peaches come out on the mid-palate. A hint of menthol on the long finish. Light tannins. This is nice on its own but will work well with food too. Shrimp off the grill would be great. Screwcapped.
