Chilean Sauv Blancs at mid-price rival pricey French Sauv. Nice full tropical bouquet on the nose. Tart and "minerally" finish (I'm still making up my own descriptors.) What a Sauv should be (at 10:35 a.m.)......."Makes me want to shirk all my duties and line up three bottles and re-watch all of Flight of the Conchords AND East Bound and Down and finish in time to watch The Pats destroy." Anyway, Sauv Blanc is my fave.

Sep 24th, 2014Peachy, with a bitter finish. The smell is the highlight of this wine. So fragrant and floral! Mike gives this an 8.0, the finish bothers him

Mar 27th, 2016Less citrus and expressive than New Zealand sav blancs; not as crisp and minerally than Loire sav's. Nice for a cheap white.

Sep 4th, 2015A very difficult white to beat from Colchagua, Chile. USD 12 is a very generous price for such a refreshing and expressive Sauvignon Blanc.
I would buy it over again and again..
