Carmen Sauvignon Blanc 2000

Region del Valle Central, ChileThe 2000 sauvignon blends grapes from Rapel, Curicó, Maipo and Casablanca valleys that after fermentation remained on the lees in tank for a month. Expect a gorgeous grapefruit, grassy kiwi melon nose. Drier in the mouth than previous years but with plenty of grapefruit/melon character and fine balance. An absolute winner for the price and wine tailor-made for B.C. seafood.Tasted: 01 September 2001Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
