Montes 2002 Reserve Sauvignon Blanc (Casablanca Valley)

Country: Chile / Reserve
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc Casablanca Valley
Winery: Montes /

This could very well be Chile’s most expressive, interesting white Sauvignon. It’s got all those prickly pineapple, passion fruit, scallion and pepper notes that are typical, and also a lot of pure citrus flavors backing it all up. The mouthfeel is zesty and spirited, but there’s natural roundness, too. Some licorice adds complexity to the finish. Best Buy.
