Tasting - Santa Luz Sauvignon Blanc 2013

Name: Santa Luz Sauvignon Blanc 2013
Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Valle Central
Country: Chile
Year: 2013 
Price: $11 (Currently on sale at the Vintage Cellar for $6.95)

Winery 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: The aromatics of this wine were filled with citrus, pears, and possibly apricots. On the palate, this wine was overwhelmingly citrusy and after smelling all the fruity aromas, tasted off-dry. I really liked this wine. The fruity without the sweet worked well for it. I definitely would buy this wine, especially for the price!
