點擊次數：15291

The 2008 Sauvignon Blanc Limited Selection is from cool-climate Leyda. Grass, fresh herbs, gooseberry, and grapefruit make up the enticing aromatics. With greater depth and concentration than its less expensive cousin, it is worth the extra premium in price. Aurelio Montes remains one of Chile's great innovators and quality leaders. His latest releases are first class from entry level to the top of the portfolio.Importer: TGIC Importers, Woodland Hills, CA; Tel: (800) 924-0030

A very crisp and minerally style, with a prominent chalky edge that carries the flint, chive and fleur de sel notes. Very lengthy. From Chile. Drink now. 23,000 cases made. -JM

Smells like an ocean breeze mixed with field greens, citrus and passion fruit. Montes has been a leader in Chile’s movement toward coastal SB, and this one is blasting with grapefruit, green apple, passion fruit and minerality. In the mouth, it has some weight and richness; but that’s balanced by zippy acidity. Can’t imagine a better match for ceviche or tuna tartare.——M.S.(5/1/2009)—— 90
