Tasting Sierra Cruz Sauvignon Blanc


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

Critic's 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 Thoughts This wine was filled with aromas of pears and apples mixed with some lemon zest and a definite herbal quality. There were traces of oregano on the nose. The flavors were citrusy - orange and lemon - combined with a grassy, leafy aspect. It finished a bit acidic. 

This wine was not paired with any food.
