Tasting - Santa Luz Sauvingnon Blanc

Santa Luz
Sauvingnon Blanc 2013
Valle Central, Chile 
Regular Price: $11
Sale Price: $6.75

The Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes: 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.

On the nose, this sauvingnon blanc was very refreshing and almost cold. Definitely contained hints of citrusy fruits, which brought a bit of acidity with it. Pear and apricot flavors shined through at first taste. I found it to be smoother than the smell gave me an impression of, and even got some hints of oakiness on the finish. Overall, a decent wine that I would like to try with a light meal, as suggested.
