Tasting: Sierra Cruz Sauvignon Blanc

Name: Sierra Cruz Sauvignon Blanc
Year: 2011
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Maule Valley
Price: $6.95
Country: Chile

Vintage Cellar Review: 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.

My Review: This wine was very light and crisp.  I detected flavors of apple upon taste. It had a nice balanced acidity that went down smoothly.  I did not have this wine with food.
