Tasting-Santa Luz Sauvignon Blanc

Name: Santa Luz Sauvignon Blanc
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Valle Central
Country: Chile
Year: 2013
Price: $6.95

Vintage Cellar Review: Like any good Sauvignon Blanc, this opens with oceanic aromas of citrus fruits, sea foam and minerality. In the mouth, it is juicy and stony, with washing acidity. Flavors of honeydew, lime and a nice grassiness finish firm, with good backbone. Drink this with salads, shellfish and ceviche.

My Review: This white wine had an especially striking light color. It originally came off as fruity and in particular left you with aromas of the pear variety. While it had a smooth after taste, it was also strong and powerful. This could probably be attributed to the fact that it is 12% alcohol. It wasn't my favorite, but I would consider drinking it again in the future.
