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.
Smelled fresh and somewhat fruity, with a hint of wood. It tasted a bit fruity, but had a warm feeling. It had a tangy, tannic finish that stuck on my tongue.
