Year: 2012Price: $13
Winery review: Gorgeous nose, pungent and complex with layers of aromas that transfer into the palate. Notes of gooseberry, key lime and herbs and jalapeno pepper hints give way to grapefruit and more tropical fruit richness, followed up with a touch of minerality. The palate gushes with pink grapefruit, gauava and a sweet, tart interplay that is fresh and vibrant. This has exceptional length and for the price this is a screamer. It is reported that Casa de Bosque makes one of Casablanca’s best Sauvignon Blanc (actually Chile’s best) and supplies Sauvignon Blanc grapes to some well known wineries with big names who know this to be true. Exceptional value, this wine has great purity and vibrancy that gushes with crisp fruit, with a finish you could keep time with.
My review: The nose of this wine smelled like blackberries, a scent that I found very pleasant. The body was very light. The wine had floral notes as well as honey and gooseberry. The finishes was very sweet and attacked my throat with sugar. Had it not been for the finish, I would have enjoyed this wine very much.
I tried this wine without food.
