Tasting- Sierra Cruz Sauvignon Blanc




Name: Sierra Cruz Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Maipo Valley
Country: Chile
Year: 2011
Price: 6.95
Shop: 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 smelled strongly of grapefruit. There was also citrus- cleaner smell, some pear, and cherry blossom. It tasted very bitter, with none of the sweet smelling things in the flavor. There was a tart bitter taste, like that of an orange peel.
